Roxio's Toast comes with Spin Doctor, which helps you make the conversion. I have used it, and the results are pretty good. I have run the standard tape deck directly into the sound in port on the Mac and that didn't produce the best results (it was a bit distorted). I am looking at getting a new receiver with better line out signals to try it again.
