I use a Pioneer CD recorder for making transfers from cassettes and reel tapes. It's like copying with a tape recorder, very simple, no interface. I can then make copies from the CD or just play them at home or in car.

These recorders (Tascam, Pioneer, Sony, etc.) are readily available on ebay, and sometimes even in thrift stores. However, I would not recommend the Philips or Magnavox units.

I'd also recommend using a quality cassette player. These, too, are readily available in thrifts.
