How do you download CD music to a reel to reel tape deck recorder?

Since R2R tape decks are analog devices, *download* which usually refers to digital data is probably not the best choice of words. *Record* would be more applicable.
To record CD music on R2R tape, for best results you will need a CD player with Line Out connectors, and a tape deck with Line In connectors. The connectors are typically RCA coaxial connectors, and there should be two such connectors on both ends; one for the Left channel (black) and one for the Right channel (red). Use an audio cable with one each red and black RCA connector on both ends, or two separate cables with only one connector on each end. In either case, connect Left Line Out on the CD player to Left Line in on the tape deck. Do likewise with the Right channel connectors.
Load the CD and tape reals, and start recording. There are probably input level meters and knobs to adjust the input level on the tape deck. Adjust them such that the needle on both meters (left and right) comes as close as possible to the red area on the gauge, without actually going into the read. Rewind the tape, stop the CD, restart recording, restart CD playing. When the end of the CD is reached, stop recording.
Note that if Line connectors are not available on either the CD player or tape deck, Speaker/Headphone connectors can be used instead of Line Out, and/or Microphone connectors instead of Line In. BUT sound quality will be drastically reduced because of impedance mismatching, unless appropriate adaptors are used (available at Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc.). There are too many possible combinations of Line/Mic/Speaker connectors to deal with here, so tell the store personnel what kind of connectors you have on both ends, and hopefully they will sell you the correct adaptors. Playing with volume and Mic level controls can also help improve quality when Line connectors are not used.

Remove all guards on the deck to expose the tape heads. Plug in and switch on the demagnetizer several feet away from the tape heads. Bring the demagnetizer towards the heads slowly and move back and forth across the play, record and erase heads (it is not necessary to touch them) as well as the capstan and all other metal parts the tape contacts. Move the demagnetizer slowly away and turn it off or unplug only when it is several feet from the heads.

How do you tell the difference between an Irish jig and an Irish reel?
An Irish Jig has a 6/8 Tempo, while an Irish Reel has a 4/4 Tempo. An Irish musician put it to me this way: If you can say "Black and Decker, Black and Decker" to the music, then it's a reel. If you can say "rashers and sausages, rashers and sausages," it's a jig.

Who and when was the cassette player invented by?
A cassette deck is a type of tape recorder for playing or recording audio compact cassettes. A deck was formerly distinguished from a recorder as being part of a stereo component system, while a recorder had a self-contained power amplifier (and often speakers).The cassette recorder was introduced by the Philips Corporation in 1963 and marketed in 1965 as a device for vocal dictation designed for portable use. It was not intended to be a replacement for reel-to-reel recorders. It enclosed both reels of the recording tape in a small case which eliminated the need to thread the tape through individual reels.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassette_player
