"I've been doing this to my entire cassette collection (several hundred cassettes) over the last few years. Those tapes are unique as long as there's no duplicate in digital form, which makes them irreplaceable in case of loss." For stuff like that, either do it yourself or carry the tapes to someone that you trust not to loose the things (and do a good job with digitizing). Honestly, look more for someone local to you, where you can go in-person. I seem to remember Costco advertising that not too long ago… oops, just did a quick check and they seem to only do video transfers. Although I have the equipment, I am in Canada (shipping costs are insane and I'm not sure about the carriers being able to make sure the tapes arrive here safely) I know that transfer services like this exist pretty much everywhere. It also is more stress on the tapes, which at this point may be 30-40 years old, so real time is better (more gentle on the brittle tapes). If you do have a high speed dubbing deck, it works but it introduces more hiss during the transfer. This means that if the tape has 45 minutes of content on it, it will take 45 minutes to capture (or digitize) the material. I say tedious, because you can't speed up the capture process, this is done in real time.

WAV is lossless and you'll have best format to keep "forever" " Also - use good analog to digital convertor (via computer - whatever) and keep files as WAV vs MP3. "Regarding cassette transfer - two important things - if wanting absolute best transfer use a good tape machine that has adjustable heads - so that you get absolute best sound from each specific tape (I'm sure many of them were recorded on different machines - and all do not have same head positioning when recording) when using adjustable tape machine - you can tweak each tape to get best sound nakamichi CR-7 is one of the best. "Suggest you go to your public library as they usually have the equipment to do that."

PLEASE do not ask me questions about any of this in the comments below. Here's the feedback I received from my subscribers if you want to DIG DEEP into other great tips. IMPORTANT NOTE: Since I'm just transferring voice files and not high-fidelity music, this crude method of using my microphone produced very good and acceptable results. I decided to experiment using my studio-quality USB podcast microphone set 5 inches away from the piece-of-crap (POC) speaker on my POC cassette tape player. My thought was the linear transfer cable was picking up RF from the computer. I tried a second time putting a self-made choke (several round circles of the cord on top of one another) on the transfer cable. A HORRIBLE humming noise was on my first transfer.
