    Okay, here is a dumb question, but I have to ask. Does someone make if it even exists a cable that will allow you to plug one end into a headphone jack of a radio and teh other end goes into the microphone jack of of a computer? Reason is I have to convert some cassette tapes into computer acceptable format (e.g., .wav format) using Sond Recorder(?) and then turn that into audible CDs. I know it's a stretch but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been running a microphone out from my computer to the front of a cassette player in the past but you get that white noise crud as you all know.

    Take care,

    Hi Roy,
    The normal way to do this would be to run a cable from the cassette recorders(or radios) headphone output(jack) to your computers "line in" jack.

    Hi Roy,
    To further answer your question. You would use a 1/8 inch (3.5mm I think) stereo cable set that is male at both ends. Usually available at RatShack (Radio Shack) in various lengths.
