Yeah, definitely overkill. :) There are mass-market digital tape decks now, with USB interfaces. Maybe it could still be worth it. Sure, a lot of it isn’t particularly hi-fi (audiobooks, for example) but some of it is still irreplaceable because the “Modern” alternative doesn’t charm like the originals did. I’ll look to the future when the HD audio scene happens; heck even CD-quality would be just fine if it weren’t so bloody loud after being squeezed through a colander like that. And of course some of the mixes just aren’t as good as the originals; I have some performances here which are simply lovely, but for which the CD edition, while fun, doesn’t carry the same weight. So, yeah, I’m just looking for a way to copy the sound off the tapes and in to wave files, without messing around with line level conversion and all that. If there’s a USB tape deck, maybe I should look into it.
