How do I get sound recorded on a audio cassettee into iMovie?
Is there an inexpensive digital sound recorder that I could use?
Thanks,
Hal

What if you connect your cassette player to the audio-in jack of your computer? Then go to iMovie, select the Audio tab, and press the "Record Voice" button. Will that work, or maybe the quality won't be good enough?

The Audio in port on Macs is still a line-level (I think that's the right term) input, which means a standard Stereo mini plug won't carry the audio in (I think it'll still pick it up, but it will be underamplified.)
You can get a USB audio input, or something similar. You could also get a 3rd Party Sound Card.. Dunno how much those cost.

I think you mean if you plug a microphone into the line input, it will be under-amplified. In the case of the Mac, it shouldn't matter either way since the audio-input is auto-sensing. You can plug in a mic or line level signal and it will pick up the signal just fine. I don't know if this is different at all for newer Macs with USB-only sound or whatever.

Actually, I've plugged my Yamaha Cassette Deck into my Mac this way (RCA to mini plug), recorded onto my Mac using CD Spin Doctor (or other apps like Peak/Peak LE). Then can use the aiff track where I want, to include iMovie. The sound quality is excellent (at least as good as the cassette recording)

There is a connector that comes with Toast that will connect your cassette deck to the microphone plug and CD spin doctor (included with Toast) will record your stuff.

I use a direct minijack-minijack from my cassette player to my mac's audio-in and use SndSampler to record. Works great.
