[42itous]

Can someone please give me a clue as to how to transfer an audio tape to a digital medium? Specifically, I have taped an interview that I want to place in five time capsules -- most of these will be opened in the next decade or so, but one needs to last 43 years, so if you want to debate what media will still be readable then, now's your chance.

Well, I know you can get a cord that will plug into the headphone jack of the master device, and into the mic jack of the digital recording device (Radio Shack or Micro Center should have one) and you can record just like speaking into a microphone on your computer or other digital recording device. From there you can convert to whatever sound file you'd like.

As for what's going to last 43 years, I have zero clue. You might call someone at, say, Emerson, where they have a good sound engineering department and pose the question there.
