Connect your tape deck to your PC's sound card using a Y-cable (one end has RCA jacks, the other looks like a headphone plug). You can find them at just about any store like RadioShack or BestBuy.
Once connected, use your soundcard's utilty to capture the sound to a wav file (you need about 50MB of space for every 4 minutes). If you don't have any kind of special software for this, use Windows Sound Recorder.
The last step is to record to CD. Any CD burner you buy likely comes with Roxio or Nero to make the music CD from those files.

If you can afford it, buy a component stereo CD burner. Connect a walkman output directly to the line-in on the back of the recorder. If you buy the right burner, it should have CD-RW capability. Mine does (TDK DA-5900). Record the tape to a CD-RW (audio grade) then rip the disc to an mp3 for mulitple transcriptions. The output of the walkman should be set to '8' for optimum sound levelling.

You can do what fnkycolmedina said or you can buy PlusDeck. A PlusDeck is a cassette deck with a USB output on it that lets u plug right into the USB jack on your computer. Go to their website to find out more about it. It cost about $130.
