Sure, I still invested over a hundred bucks, but I can digitize the 1000s of LPs and tapes I have packed in boxes...provided that I ever find the time to duplicate and edit the music....</p> Heck, I just bought a $120 Numark turntable, which allows you to plug your tape deck into the back, and dub cassettes straight to the computer using Audacity.
