------------------
I have digitized both CD's and tapes to MP3 format (and to RA, RealAudio,
format to a lesser extent).
Some lab "tapes" come optionally on CD's now, such as those for Claro que si!
(H&H, 5 CD's) and Interaction 5è (1 CD?). Those are easiest to digitize.
Digitizing tape is easy too, but more time-consuming since you have to split
the segments of tape manually and maybe clean up the sound a bit (such as
normalizing the sound).
I wrote down the steps I followed to digitize tapes and CD's at my web site:

Good luck,
Jon
