    Well, there's always the "line-in" port on the sound card; just plug
in the tape player, set the volume, and run Audacity (in the repo) to
capture from "Aux" or whatever they call it on the card.

    I've used Audacity for a lot of things, but directly from tape isn't
one of them, though there's no reason it wouldn't work just fine.

    Heck, it's even fun.
