just connect the tape deck to your computer and record it

Tape player -> audio out -> audio in -> computer

I don't have a tape player unfortunately and don't really want to spend £30/£40, was hoping I could post it to someone who already has the setup?

Mailing a tape back and forth seems like a huge amount of work.

I dont know the quality of the USB tape player.
I'd think that the quality of the files it can rip will probably be a higher quality than that of the mix on the mixtape :PI just suggested it in case you had LOTS of tapes to get ripped.
- yeah, you're probably right. though it is on maxell...hans_glib

I have a feeling the quality of the recording is poor as the tape was re-recorded numerous times. But it has a load of old tracks which I really want to identify, so hopefully doing this will allow me upload to the tape to Youtube or the like and find out what the track-list is.

it would be easier and more cost effective to just replicate the mix with MP3's. This is assuming it is a readily available recording.
I have a few of those exact same tapes that still work and play today.
- I don't know what any of the tracks are called, which is why I want to convert it.WhiteFace

you could use shazam to try and id the songs....

Man, I actually hooked up an old kareoke machine with a tape deck to my computer because I made a bunch of custom tapes for band merch. But, that's in California and I'm in New York for a month. Sorry!

If you don't sort it locally, I've got a good Nakamichi deck and Apogee converters, probably the best you'll do in terms of quality.

think its sorted with hans glib above. if so, a heart-warming qbn success story.

Yes hans_glib has kindly offered to convert it for me - I owe you one hans.
- fooler20
once you convert this it has to go into the FMT. I can't wait to hear what sappy love songs someone put on this tape for you.

Here it is!
Lots of deep, filtered, bouncy, house music, I 'borrowed' it from my mates big brother back in 1996 who originally mixed it.
here it is in all it's fuzzy and warped glory: http://www.sendspace.com/file/77…
