i've ripped a few tapes to ogg vorbis by running the headphone
out of my stereo to the line-in on my sound card and firing up
goldwave...a little more time consuming to be sure, but it only
has to be done once =)
sound quality is...well, about that of the tape itself.
further, i suspect (if i wished to take a hit in the quality dep't) that
I could use the 2x dub speed, and sample at 88.2kHz to get it twice as
fast...but i haven't tried that yet.

have fun
