Well. If you don't have a cassette recorder to connect to your
Apple
][ you have to come up with a replacement. If you have a cassette
recorder (and a cassette) you have to get the software on that cassette
first. So you connect your MP3 or whatever playback device to the
cassette recorder to record a tape. But in that case you can connect
the whatever playback device to the Apple ][ directely.
It is just the classic problem of classic computing:
Transfering data from "modern" computers onto media of classic
computers.
Using an iPad to simulate a cassette recorder is an obvious, short and
fast solution - if you have the iPad at had anyway. The only thing that
irritates me: It may be funny to do that, but it is nothing special.
Nothing to "phone home" about it. Therefore I find all that stir about
it irritating.
