I don't think it'll work at all. Normal tape players are analogue, while the C64 datacassette players are digital. Connecting up your C64 to a regular tape deck won't work and might even blow it!

You can of course connect your C64 up to your PC and load all the software you'd like, do a search on google on x1541 lead or something like that

thanks
