Does anyone have one of these that they would be happy to lend/rent?

Cheers

I could do with one of those - but once you've done your copying it's not going to get used.

Yes I have a Yahama tape deck
But tapes won't last forever
and would be handier on mp3 files
But true once you're done with it not much use with the apparel- you could buy mine for £30 Rogan : )
There's also this stuff for cheaper: http://www.musicalitysoftware.com/en-GB/Demo

Can you plug your Yamaha tape deck into your PC's audio input and then use free software like Audacity to chop it up and encode?

Sounds good, will have a go thanks

if you have a mac you can record straight into garage band using a stereo mini jack to phono/rca cable

Course I have a mac, it's raining today

But no mini Jack around, only a big Joe

you could always send the tape to George and he'll do it for you on his mac.

Have a pc. (And not very good on it)

I was going to offer advice and even loan of cables from my vast repository of different audio and computer connectors, but to be quite honest it's far, far easier to just illegally download the music that you've already paid for than it is to try and convert vinyl or cassettes to MP3.

(The above should not be construed as incitement to do anything illegal)
