Audio slave...

I'm in a dilemma. I have accumulated around 200 music albums in my collection and they're all in audio casette format. I haven't really had a casette tape player in years so my collection has been sitting there gathering mold.

I could:

1) Buy a decent enough tape player. Have each one recorded into my computer's hard drive and have it ripped into MP3 format. Burn it into audio CD format in the future. Quite troublesome and time consuming.

2) Buy a decent enough tape player. Buy a portable hard disk-based audio player which rips directly to MP3 or whatever format from any audio source. Quite expensive but less troublesome.

or

3) Have my friend rip it for me directly on her portable audio player and I'll just treat her to lunch or something. It might just work...
