AHH, then you may want the do it yourself route. If you have a computer, as I suggested a USB audio to digital adapter would be a good idea. These typically come with software for saving and editing the files. This would allow you to make any changes as required, as well as naming the files in a manner that will let you find these later.
The digital files can be saved to your hard drive, USB, CD or DVD as necessary.
Send me a PM if you would like to discuss further.
