I tried this once. i got mixed results. here's what i did. using cakewalk
(wintel - sorry) :-) i recorded to a wav file a cassette tape which i
played from my walkman. i connected the walkman's headphone jack to the
line in jack on my sound blaster awe 64. for this, just use an 1/8 inch
stereo to 1/8 inch stereo cable - available at radio shack or just about any
place with electronics. i had to jack up the volume to 10 and then amplify
the recorded wav 4x to get it to sounds decent. then i encoded at 160kbps
to mp3. it's not bad, but it was an awful lot of work for some tapes, so
you might want to think twice about it.
hope this helps,
GT
