1: Got to Radio Shack and get a cable with a 1/8" stereo plug (to fit Macintosh Audio In jack) on one end, and whatever kind of plug(s) will fit your tape deck output on the other end (either 1/8" mono or stereo, or two RCA plugs).

2: Take the signal from the tape deck output (low-level or line-level output), and cable this to the Audio In jack on your Mac. If you're unsure, it's safe to use the Phones output on the tape deck.

3: Use a sound processing utility or app to "record" the tape on your Mac. You'll need a large enough HD for the complete file, ideally you should have about 500MB free space to start with.
The app I like best ( on a 68K machine ) is Sound Studio Classic, which is easy to use, stable, allows you to edit the file, and can save it in a variety of formats. Shareware.


4: Once you're happy with your edited file, save it in AIFF format, launch Toast, import the file and burn a CD in Toast's Audio format. This CD should play on most CD players.

good luck with it!

Well, I have Toast 4 with my burner...what I don't understand is how to
hook up the tapeplayer and how to "digitize" the audio.
