Matter of personal preference.    I find that Radio 1
from Freeview , sent via an amp to the computer
Line In and recorded as an Mp3 is superior to anything I can
do with tape
It has the additional advantages that it can be edited and copied
without degrading
Obviously the standard of your equipment is a factor as are the cost
savings for blank CD as against blank tape especially if saved as
data files rather than audio files
I am moving away from audio tape nowadays and judging by the stocks
of blank tapes Woolworths now doesn't have so are most other people
