Is there any software available for making high quality cd backups (of my music cds) onto metal tape cassettes. I wish to backup some of my collection onto tape. Also what leads and such like are required?
Thanks.

Well, you can connect your soundcard's output with a tapedeck's input. There shouldn't be any audible differences between audio players. Many of them are capable of audio CD playback, e.g. foobar2000, winamp (with plugin).

Unless you have a good soundcard, probably the results will be slightly worse compared to using a standalone CD player.

The output connector of most soundcards are minijacks (like walkman headphones), about the input connector of your tapedeck you'll have to find out yourself.
