you can't put the actual file (mp3 i guess is what you are talking about) on to a tape as this is not a digital format (you can put the file onto an MP3 player though). You can put the song on it though! Personally i haven't used a tape since 1997! I put music onto CD (in the computer cd burner) or minidisc using a MD-port ( see www.xitelcom Sony do one but it's more expensive and a bit of a rip off) if you don't have any of these things and just have a tape recorder the only thing i can suggest is that u plug in your tape recorder into the back of your PC where your speakers come out. Thing is unless you have a great sound card it will sound pants probably! I suggest you give up the tape idea! I can tell you what shop to get help at but i don't want to seem like i'm advertising (like some spammers on this board) as my bloke works for them! I''l mention them anyway, Richer Sounds! My bloke is manager of the Colchester shop and he could help you more than me. I just know what i've picked up as a hi-fi widow!!
