Is there a small tape deck that I can use to convert cassettes to MP3's?
Yes. I think CPC do them (www.cpc.co.uk, 01772 654455), and possibly

I no longer have the installation file, but you can download it from

If you're playing a disc with it, it may be that those functions are

mean MPC produces that message or that what you select isn't available?
Often some options will be greyed out if the function isn't available.
I'm using version 1.7.7.
