   cassette conversion   
   01 Jun 18 15:48:47   
   
   A question probably asked a thousand times -   
      
   I have a box of old cassettes in the attic (like a   
   million other blokes).  Rather than consigning them   
   to the dust bin, I'd convert them to MP3 files.  Anybody   
   have suggestions for a converter?   
      
   I could buy one blind, from Amazon or Best Buy, but   
   I wonder if there are differences in quality, among   
   competing models.   
      
   I plan to do one tape per day.  It should require minimal   
   baby sitting - just start it, then let it run to completion,   
   and switch off, on its own.   
      
   PS  Some of the tapes are metal, some CrO2, some plain   
   vanilla (whatever that means).  And differing cutoff filters.   
   So that's a complication.  As I recall, there were players which could   
   recognize these various types.  How did they do that?
