how can I record music from cassette tape onto my computer?

Answer 1

The EASIEST way is to get a Plusdeck2 - an audio cassette deck for your PC.

Other than that (and cheaper) is to go to your local electronics store and buy an audio cable to plug into the Line In hole on the back of your computer.

If your cassette player has a walkman style headphone jack, then you are looking for a cable that has two stereo male headphone-style connections on it.

Plug your player into your machine, and use your audio program to record the music.
