Personally i use Cassette tape sometimes for lofi recordings-as my stereo has no outs! and it has no inputs either,so i cant go hifi > pc > hifi amps > hifi speakers......i have recorded radio>cassette tape > pc *mp3*
just think of the distortion artifacts :-S
and im talking a 5$ cassete tape player on my plastic sanyo system :-P
unfortunately my pc mucked(my new one) and i cudnt save the mp3s ,those were my fav-whats worse is i hardly know the artist either-those songs just had something in them to cause extreme happyness!
