    I did exactly this, connecting the line out from an old hifi to the line in on my PC using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo jack for about £1 on ebay, and recording using Audacity. Didn't use the sound activated recording, manually recording worked fine.


    Quality was fine, there was some tape hiss but it actually made everything sound nice and warm anyway so I kept it.

    Are the microphone inputs mono or stereo?
