Yeah, I've seen those on the internet and can't
see in advantage over a regular deck connected
through a sound card.  Especially for book tapes
it just doesn't justify the cost.  In the FAQs it
says that the analog still has to be at the speed
of the cassette player.   I can get that on my
own deck which would require playing a whole book
or album through to get it "digitized".  PITA....
So I'll just keep playing the cassettes on my
Heidelberg (sp?) player.  It's the least amount
of hassle.  And it's free...

Cheers!
