Why save it to a tape when you can use your PC as one huge tape recorder.

A lossy audio format like MP3 might not be the most appropriate format 
to use, but try it and see if you can get it working. You might 
experiment with 8000Hz mono wav files.

With cable prices being so low it makes sense even if you need a really 
long lead.

Have fun,
