Actually (though im not completely sure about this, im open to corrections) but couldnt you just use a wire with stereo jacks on both sides, to interface to a tape recorder, then put that tape into one of those stereos with a cdburner in it, and voila, ready to rip? Or, for those more inclined to messing with audio cables, attach a set of rca composite plugs to a headphone wire (again, not sure if it would work) and cdr it like i already mentioned, or use a audio capture card to put it directly onto a computer? I know both of these would probably lead to some really crappy quality mp3s, but it would still show it that it can be done.
