I wish someone would do something like this that accepts a line-level input as well, I could rip my old tapes to digital then as well.

How about this http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UFO202.aspx? A bargain at about £25 or so.

There is.

The Firestone Audio FubarIO-MkII is both DAC and ADC (and will convert your line level, analogue tape output.) Euro160 direct from their website or £198 from Russ Andrews.

Excellent! Quite a disparity in prices there, although I can see where most of the money is going for the more expensive one. Thanks chaps!

Oh yeah... This laptop's got a switchable mic/line-in socket as it happens. And I've got the appropriate cable.

Can anyone lend me a tape deck?

 

[John Duncan]

Possibly. I'll need to check the loft. I may have thrown it out.

Don't go to too much trouble, I wasn't being entirely serious, I'll probably end up buying one.

Interesting. I wonder if this will do high resolution or CD quality only?

...when playing a piece of vinyl...

crikey that doesn't half make it sound clinical! What happened to calling them 'records'?

...or, indeed, 'putting a record on the gramophone player'* or 'turning the wireless on'**.

Sadly the Rega website doesn't quote the ADC's spec, but as cheap OEM computer soundcards can manage 24/96 these days, you would expect it to be able to.
