Problem with loading from tape audio onto apple IIe

Since I don't yet have a disk II, I've been experimenting with loading stuff from tape. Now, due to my lack of any apple II tape software, I've been playing mp3s of the tapes straight from my phone into the input jack, but it doesn't load. I've made sure its in the right one, I've made sure a second aux is plugged into the output port, I've tried adjusting the volume, but nothing works. Any ideas?

are you using a mono or stereo plug to connect to the IIe.
It should be a mono plug.

Generic aux cords are mono, right?

Most audio patch cables these days are stereo.

I haven't had too much trouble using a regular stereo cable with cassette audio sources like the Apple II Disk Server. Are you actually using MP3s, not .wav or other uncompressed formats? Compression is usually a bad thing for this application.

Actually, the file in particular was a .wav.
Know of any sites with mp3s?
