    "Using a Regular Cassette Player and a Macintosh Computer If you own or have access to a Macintosh computer and a plain old cassette player, the only piece of equipment you may need is a simple audio cable. Most Macintosh computers have a 3.5mm "line-level" input, which can be used to record a cassette directly into your computer. Unfortunately, MacBook Air computers, iPhones, iPads and iPods don't have a line-level input. Line-level inputs are very uncommon on Windows-based computers as well. Many Windows PCs feature a 3.5mm "mic-level" input, but cassette players never have a mic-level output, which makes this method a little too complicated for PC owners. However, you can record cassette tapes into any of these machines with an audio interface (skip ahead to the Using an Audio Interface to Connect a Tape Player to a Computer section for instructions). "
