From what I could find there are two ways to get audio in - Via the dock connector and via the headphone/mic jack. Apparently the headphone/mic jack is mono so I suspect you'll want to go with some kind of dock dongle thing. Of course you'll also need some recording software for the phone. You would think there would be some kind of dock to line in cable but the best I could turn up was this $80 dock adapter:

I found a lot of headphone mono adaptors but it seems like if you want stereo and without built-in mics you are suddenly doing 'pro audio'. I did find a discontinued thing called a tapedock:

which included both the tape player and interface for about $70. Guess it wasn't that popular.

Found a tidbit here:

Apparently the dock connector (4 and 4s) only has mono analog input so any doc connector that does stereo will have to do its own digitizing and send the signal in as a digital audio stream. That explains the somewhat high price of the Line 6 device I cited above. The 5 has only digital input so even mono analog through the dock isn't possible.

Do you have access to a mac? GaragBand and a mini-headphone to RCA cable would do the trick there.

Hello,

Is there a way to connect an audio cassette player to an Ipod Touch 4G and record the content as an MP3? I have a bunch of non-commercial cassettes that I would like to preserve as MP3's.

Thanks,

Dan
