[Sam Finkelstein]

Can anyone suggest a good way to digitize cassettes in high quality?

Thanks in advance.

a lot of time or a good (expensive) service. it's fairly easy to do yourself, just need a line out and a good quality tapedeck into a good quality voice recorder. get a tape recorder with  auto reverse, if you're somewhere that you can go once an hour and put in a new tape.
do not do it at high speed unless you're willing to lose quality.

Thanks. Was just checking to make sure there were no better options. Guy whose tapes I'm converting doesn't want them out of his sight.

Maybe something like this https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek%C2%AE-Cassette-Converter-Headphones-Software/dp/B00ADXLBS4/ref=pd_sim_267_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=EP3K0D6MRNFA7DF3VN5S which is basically a portable cassette player which goes through USB to the PC.

Comes with a recording and some editing software.

I have not tried this though.

Or this one which has auto reverse (the 1st one I'm not sure) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W2LE67S?tag=ttr_cassette-to-mp3-converter-20

If you are gonna do a lot of cassettes then maybe this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VG802I?tag=ttr_cassette-to-mp3-converter-20

I actually did a couple hundred once with a line in directly to a laptop with some free software that saved it as an mp3. That was probably the smoothest way.
