I use a sony minidisk as the "go between" to put analog audio on my Mac. I ordered a Griffin iTalk. It has a line in and automatic gain control. I'm hoping to try it and put audio from tapes directly to my iPod. It probably records as wav, but I think it's stereo.

Greetings all, again.

No, you can't "rip" off of an analogue signal (which the cassette deck is
delivering). You can only rip digital code, and that off a CD (optical scan;
which means you cannot rip off of a DAT tape which would deliver a digital
*signal* (not code) via a helical scan). What you'll have to do is record
the tape signal so that the computer can process and then define the format
and size of the file. R.A., presuming that your AIO is not running OS X (but
OS 9.x instead) download and use ProTools Free 5.01 for recording the audio,
then bounce it as interleaved stereo .aiff file. This you can then burn to
an audio CD, or have iTunes convert it to MP3 (ala Glenn's great
instructions :-).
