Can I hook up an audio cassette player to my computer and if so which model?

Answer 1

You can actually buy a cassette drive for your computer:

If that's more than you were hoping to pay, here's instructions on how to do it with nothing more than a standard cassette player, a stereo patch cord, and the free software Audacity:

Good luck.

Answer 2

yep..
Put simply, you will need to connect your cassette player (any half decent 'separate' with a stereo output) to your PC soundcard, then play the cassette whilst recording on your PC. A step-by-step guide is available at:

The recording software is the key, there are some free software downloads available at:

I have used ‘Magix Audio Cleaning Lab’ and ‘Audacity’ – Audacity is particularly popular since it is free!
If you record to WAV format, expect file sizes of around 10MB per minute, or 1MB per minute for MP3 (at 128kbps).
Once you have your digital versions of the recording on your PC, simply burn them on to a CD (Nero burning software or similar..). If you use Magix Audio Cleaning, the software will burn an audio CD for you without needing additional software (assuming you have a CD writing drive of course!)
You can also download a free PDF version of the step-by–step guide from the download page mentioned above, the guide is complete with diagrams and screen-shots.
Of course if you just want to 'play' and not record, then you only need to carry out the first step of the instructions..
Hope this answers your question
