Transferring audio tapes to digital media?

[Harriet J. Ottenheimer]

Hi Leila,

A DAK digital converter makes this easy.  I bought one about two years 
ago and have used it to convert reel-to-reel tapes and audio cassettes.  
It is inexpensive (around $100) and simple to use.  It comes with some 
very nice sound-processing (audio editing) software and a very 
straightforward set of instructions.  If you are going to use the system 
with a laptop and a usb connection (which is how I use it) there is an 
extra interface that you need which is also available thru DAK.

Here is a link to DAK

and to the converter itself
