Calling out to the LJ brain trust

How hard is it to turn cassette media into digital (mp3) format?
One of the long boxes I thought was full of comics is full of tapes.

...Which reminds me. I still need to do something with my vinyl. Craigslist time!

Hrm. I wonder if I can use Audacity for the line in recording...

Oh, bonus points if you have something that can remove the tape hiss on the recording. I never claim that this method yields good-sounding results, but it's cheap and easy and it works. I've been very happy with LP Ripper, though others may have suggestions of other similar programs. It's not good enough to let it do the automagic track separation unchecked, but it's good enough to do 85% of the work by itself, and it's only $20.
