Tape to MP3
It seems like the geeks that be are coming up with a gadget to fill just about every niche. It turns out I've had a couple of people look for this one. It is a box the size and shape of a CD/DVD-ROM that fits in one of bays in a standard computer case. The software clams to rip straight to mp3 and it has auto-reverse.
I have friends who have called me late at night looking for something like this. They need one for records too. That mite prove difficult to put in a half hight cradle.
