description: I'm afraid I don't have the answer for you - just more questions. I would like to know why you want to do that in the first place. Is the sound quality not going to be compromised?

description: Connect a cassette tape player to a computer sound card and use software to create a sound file. You can use Windows Sound Recorder to create a WAV file, or you can use another program like Audacity to create other formats, like FLAC. Some formats and settings are better than others; Some create high-quality files that are large, others create small files of lesser quality.

description: Thank you for the help, guys. I did try to research that on my own but the tech lingo is just too hard for me. I think I will just let someone else do it for me instead.
