MP3 to Tape?

Yeah, that's what I read too. It's specifically tapes he wants to use, and there really is no way to do this unless you have a cassette deck that records, and preferably one that links to your PC. You could ostensibly burn to CD then use CD to tape, but again, you'd have to have a deck that had both a CD player and a cassette deck in it. There's just no getting away from that unfortunately.

I just thought if all he wants is a portable listening option then a cheap MP3 player would take out one level of degradation (ie. analogue > digital instead of analogue > digital > analogue) and if he needs to buy any cables or extra equipment to get the tape option working then the MP3 player is a pretty viable option. Less batteries, less noise, less weight, no rewinding, no changing tapes.

go to a thrift store get a stereo with a cd player and tape deck with a rec and play and record cd onto tape. You'll want to match up the times as closely as possible so media-player playlists with help you with burning cdrs.

Does anyone know if there's a good way to go from MiniDisc to piano roll to reel-to-reel to wax cylinder? I have whole bunch of Estonian ska on MiniDisc that I'd really like to hear on a player piano combined with that distinct early 60s hi-fi tape hiss, yet still be able to listen to it on my old hand-cranked phonograph. Suggestions?
