   I've got a USB attached tape cassette. It works for moving music off old   
   tapes but it's a painful process. The copying is in real time. The   
   software is reasonably good at breaking out songs into separate files but   
   you have to label them yourself.   
      
   There are also USB turntables for the vinyl purists although i think that   
   defeats the whole analog is better than digital thing.
