I used to send cassettes to my computer and convert them to mp3 and it's been so long I've forgotten how I used to do this. Tonight I tried connecting a stereo jack from the cassette deck to my usb iMic line in. I got levels coming through on the input menu in the iMac system preferences settings but didn't get any sound coming through my speakers.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Sometimes there is a playthrough feature that needs to be checked.

I use a simple little app called > LineIn to pass thru audio from input to output.
For some great Audio Converting Apps, go to the App Store and enter "audio converter" in the search bar.
Thanks, I look forwad to checking out LIneIn other audio converter apps.
You are welcome.
You can also use Apple's GarageBand, which should have come with you Mac.
See this post for details.

ah yes. This is the very website that helped me in the past to get sound through from my cassette deck and then I think from Garageband I "shared them" into mp3 files for iTunes. That wasn't working the other night so I need to check out this website again also and see where I was going wrong.
It is worth mentioning that in Apple's current lineup, only the Mac Mini still has the audio Line In port. The iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro no longer have line-in. It sounds like you have an older Mac, so you should be fine.
