[QUOTE="Groovetube, post: 1901368, member: 223633"] I’ve digitized a pile of cassettes, I’ve always used an rca to 3.5 mini (stereo) cable, I use the audio out rca on the back (next to the in) on the tape deck (I think they all have this) and have used the audio line in 3.5 jack on the MacBook Pro, (also a headphone jack?). Sometime later I’ve also used a fairly cheap presonus usb audio interface to take the audio but it’s probably not nessecary really if you have a audio line in. just going into the line jack on the mbp worked just fine. I used audacity (free download) and was able to set the levels well and capture the audio. I made separate wav files for each song (manual way) but I found just running the whole tape side and afterwards selecting each song and creating separate wav files easier. if you have a tape deck the rca/mini plug cable is the cheapest easier way.
