[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1195226, member: 45350"] Take the headphone out jack on your cassette player with a male to male audio cable into the line in jack on your Mac (have to play with that in general settings, I think to select using it as input). Then in Garageband you start a new project/song and record the input. Do what ever adjustments, balance and trim you want and save it. When you are happy with the results (I think the option in the Menu is called Share) you choose export to iTunes and you are done. Probably a little more time intensive than a specialized program and piece of equipment. But it does have the advantage of being free. I have done this several times before so I know it works (though admittedly not recently--so I don't remember all the specifics). Its not hard to do, but it does take some playing with unless you are better about reading manuals and help files than I am. :) [/QUOTE]
