A word (or two) about that. You should be able to push a tape machine audio outputs directly into your modern Mac. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLine-In.jpg It needs this cable. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MiniStereoToRCA.jpg Some of the older Macs wouldn't do this, so tell us all abo...
