thanks 2J,just checked my tape deck and it has line out,so looks like ill be taking out the minidisk and installing the tape deck to import

[lbreevesii]

if your deck has a line out i'd just get a cable to hook it up to the mic imput on your sound card and use audacity or goldwave to record the imput.

i have some other recording software so its all good

Using the mic input for a line level signal is not such a good idea. It is amplified and also supplies power to electret capsules. Use a line in.

If you have spare CD Audio connections they can be used as line level connections too.
