Converting a mountain of tapes to digital

Posted by avbenbaer@gmail.com on May 12, 2020 at 20:33:18:

Hey y'all! I have a MOUNTAIN of old cassette tapes I'd rather not toss in the trash and would like to convert to digital on my own (most preferably WAV and NOT MP3!). Half are my own recordings and half are produced recordings that probably were never made digital.

I have an old ion Tape2PC player/recorder, and I also have a newer small Cassette to PC. After having issues with both of these machines, I since learned that neither of these machines can communicate with my 2013 MacBook Air, because their software is so old that they just don't even register on my computer. What other options do I have at my disposal? I'm not an audio head, so an option that requires something involved will not be an option for me. Also, I'm not keen on sending these all to some company thay does this stuff, only to hear it will cost several thousand dollars. Help!!
