okay here is the deal;
I have a substancial music library on my computer. but I still have a shit load on cassettes. my problem is this, I have a dual cassette player that hooks up to my home stereo. What do I need in order to hook this up to my computer to load up my music into my library?
If I need to get somekind of cable or adapter, try and let me know who would have it........ thanks in advance.

A 2-RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter should make it possible to connect the cassette deck to the line-in jack in your sound card. For software I had a good experience with Polderbits when I converted some cassettes to mp3s. They have a trial period in which you can use it for free.

There is a turntable out now, a brand called ION, that is a direct USB plugin.
