How to Get a Nintendo DS Stylus to Work on an iPod Touch

Cut a length of sponge roughly half the length of the DS stylus and about four times as thick with your scissors.
Penetrate the length of sponge with the stylus, almost like sliding on a pen cap. You may need to cut a small hole at one end of the sponge if the stylus cannot penetrate the sponge on its own. Insert the stylus as far as you can, since you need to end of the sponge to be as firm as possible.
Leaving about a quarter-inch of sponge protruding from the end of the tape, secure the rest of the sponge to the stylus with a generous wrapping of adhesive tape. Wrap the tape around several times to create a secure hold.
Wet the protruding edge of the sponge with plain water. When wet, the sponge is capable of conducting electricity and will respond nicely to a capacitive touchscreen. Your DS stylus has now been modified to work on your iPod Touch.

Select 'File' followed by 'Export as MP3.' This brings up a save window. Title the file and select a location to save to.
Repeat the recording process for all tracks on your cassette tape.
Launch iTunes and click 'File,' then 'New Playlist.' Title the playlist, then click and drag the files you created from the tape into the program. Insert a blank CD into the Mac and click 'Burn.' The songs are now placed onto the music CD.
