Well, it wouldn't hurt if the tape player supported the specific tape media
for "metal" tapes, or supported Dolby noise reduction, but that is really
fluff.

As long as you have a line-level output then you will be fine.  Heh.

If you actually /find/ a tape deck with a line level output, please let me
know the brand and model, if you would.  I am yet to run into one even vaguely
within the realms of sanity.

(and, no, the headphone out doesn't really cut it. :)
