This is a Walkman-style cassette player connected to a USB audio interface that's connected to my laptop, with the audio being recorded by software on the laptop. The picture above is the audio cassette digitization solution I've settled on for now. But the question is what's the best way to convert audio cassettes to a digital format like MP3 files? In the 2010's almost 2020's surely it is better to digitize audio cassette tapes and then responsibly dispose of the physical object. That includes all those cassette tapes taking up space. Folks like Marie Kondo teach minimizing possessions, keeping life simple, reducing clutter, etc. On the one hand big business wants us to keep buying stuff, but we end up needing a bigger house to store all the stuff and we fritter our lives away. Many of us, especially from the 90's and earlier, have a pile of cassette tapes taking up space.
