My suggestion: buy a nice old pioneer or Teac cassette deck for $10 or $15 and just RCA in, preferably something with Dolby noise reduction. You should have RCA outs for mixing.

This one does: http://www.tascamcontractor.com//ftp_resources/files/manual/MF-P01_manual.pdf

Your four track records at double the speed of a normal cassette deck. In order to get it onto something you can listen to either you have to 1. transfer it to a normal cassette deck, 2. transfer it to a computer or 3. transfer it to a stand alone CD player.
There are two holes on the back of your four track called "line out." Plug in an RCA cable to these and plug them into the "line in" on any of these devices. You might want to go check your local pawn shop for a cheap cassette deck. That's one of the few things that is still cheap there because nobody wants them! A good buying guide for a beginner is that if it has a silver face plate and VU meters that are needles, it should be pretty alright. Hope this helps.

cheers,
