What I mean is, will there be any problems using the speaker jacks and a RCA "Y" cable, or do I need some other "line outs" on my stereo/cassette player? I just talked to my Dad about that and he seems to think there might be a problem using the speaker jacks. I don't wanna overload anything or do anything dangerous.

Does anyone have any experience with converting cassettes to CD's? I just read the article in MacAddict on how to do that. I've got some old tapes of me when I was little that I want to convert to preserve them. Also, I'm thinking of doing this as a service for other people. They say you need two audio out left and right channels on your stereo cassette deck. Our stereos only seem to have speaker jacks. Will that work? Is there a special (preferrably cheap) way to do that with those kind of jacks?
I've been doing just this for the last couple of months. Our stereo has "line out" connectors (most do nowadays, even the kid's boom box has them) so it's been really simple. I got a "Y" connector at Radio Shack, from RCA jacks to stereo mini plug, and one of Griffin's iMic's. Works very slick. We use Peak LE 3.2 and it works very well with OS X and 9. Just plug the stereo into the iMic, plug that into an available USB port and you're good to go. Select the iMic as the input device in Sound preferences and that's it.
