Well it depends of what kind of plugs has your cassette player: cinch, din, jack... you may need an adaptator to connect your player to the computer

Here is what I do.

I have a stereo that plays tapes set up next to the PC. Obviously the better the stereo, the better the sound output.

I run an input/output chord from the headphones jack of the stereo to the mic jack in the PC. You may want to use lineout jacks if your stereo has one.

I then use Roxio Sound editor to capture the sound. Press play on tape and hit record on the software.

If you're Casette player has an Heaphones or Line-Out I'd buy an Digital stereo cable which you can plug into that Headphone or line-out jack and then into the Line-In on your comp.

Yes I do exactly what Bleix said....I used to use Databecker sound recorder but I just switched to Audacity, it seems to work better and was a free download.

ok cool. i have a cd player that i bought around 2000 or so, and it's from sony so it should be a good one (haven't had any problems with it).

the line-out, is it the thing which is connected to your speakers? or does it really say "line-out"

can't you record with media player? or with goldwave? have those already on my pc, better than installing ANOTHER new one.

i'll see if i can connect it with my pc. i accualy have no idea what kind of cable you need for that or if i have one

thanks alot for the help, perhaps soon i can trade this fucker

Well can you see a (female) plug in the back of your player? jack, cinch, din... Or only the thing connected to the speakers?

You can record with goldwave
