Yes, and I'm perhaps in the same position as the OP. I have a bunch of
cassettes made of live shows. I used them to listen in the car to get a
feel for structure and problem areas before editing the master tapes for
broadcast.

I should be ashamed to admit that, when I saw a cassette to usb
converter in the local Aldi supermarket's remainder area for just under
5 UK pounds, I invested in it.

It's "good enough" and a very handy way of doing it. In my case, I dump
the audio into Audition, lay down the odd marker, and either store it or
put it onto something that will play in the car now.

I just couldn't be bothered fiddling with azimuth etc. for ultimate, but
still mediocre, quality.



You can easily do some coarse EQ to maybe improve things, with little
effort. WFT. Good enough for purpose !
