Re: [ARSCLIST] What to do with 2-inch tapes?

[andrew jones <liminal18@xxxxxxx>]

this obviously isn't the best way, but an iMic can hook up
to your stereo and let you record the tapes onto your computer through
a USB connection. I think it works w/ PCs to but you need drivers
for the mic.
is the calypso? dub? soul?

Peace,
A
