Assuming that you have a Line Input for Audio on your computer.

Use a cassette player that has Line Output and connect it to the Line Input of the computer.

Play the audio form the cassette to intercept it to the hard drive.

There are few programs that can intercept the audio, IMHO the best is Total Recorder.

It would save the cassette?s audio directly to mp3.

Burn the MP3 to a CD using waht ever you use to burn.

Get a Creative Labs MuVo TX FM or MuVo N200 mp3 player *wink*. Line-Out -> Line-In, play, save as mp3, etc.

Hi, Jack's suggestion is probably the best. I have done it many times. Radio Shack has the needed adaptor, mini stereo plug to two RCAs or what ever fits your player. Assuming you have Line in on the sound card. Jim

Cassette tape is such a shabby medium that you might want to do some cleaning up, like noise suppresion and a little eq if needed, normalization etc. You can do that in post production (i.e. after recording it on HDD but before commiting it to CD). Since it is voice, specs need not be that high. A bitrate of 128 or 160Kbs will do just fine. There are freeware apps that can do this for you.
