Can anyone tell me what kind of devices are available that can "you=92re
your cassette tapes and send a digital output to your computer."
In the past I've had to use the analog inputs to my computer to transfer
from cassettes.

I do exactly that, using Cool Edit 2000. The following tips may help
1. Keep the recorder as far away as possible from the computer.
2. Use battery rather than mains power for the recorder.
3. Make sure no fluorescent lamps or other devices using transformers
are
near the recorder.
4. Experiment with transferring recordings at different times of day.
Here
in S=E3o Paulo I get strong intereference from radio stations at night but
not during the day.
5. I have a DAT recorder and get much less interference if I transfer to
the computer via the DAT. If you can stand the cost I understand that
there
are devices which will play your cassette tapes and send a digital
output
to your computer.
