If by cassette recorder you mean the modern cheap SSD instead of in-built SD card then yeah, it's possible.

No. I meant (jokingly, of course) an actual cassette recorder. It can be attached to the GPIO's analog pins.

Someone is probably still making them.

None of the GPIO pins are analog, all of them are discrete. As for sampling audio from a cassette recorder you can use its USB - easier solutions already exists. Why complicate stuff through GPIO?

Sorry. I had the impression it had some form of PWM. In any case, we can always make it work with a square wave.
