text: easiest way to transfer cassettes to mp3, is to simply use a stereo to stereo lead from your cassette player and hook directly to your pc, then you can use a sound program (simple voice recorder can do it) and record the sound into a *.wav format (simplest format there is for audio, quite large file), then convert the wav file into mp3\n\nnot sure what program to use off top of my head, but i reckon music match would be able to do it
