Answer 1

Yes, you need a audio capture software such as this...

Answer 2

Yep - there is....tried and tested by many, many folk (including me)
You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software, CD writer. Yep that’s about it, oh yeah and a lot of time…..
Note: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…
You could get someone to do it for you: www.cassette2cd.co.uk for one.
The software is probably the thing you really need to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads – listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….
I recommend highlighting the tracks you want from your tapes rather than doing everything. Oh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality.
Hope this helps

Answer 3

this question has been answered on yahoo answers many times in the past.
To sum up: you need to connect your tape player to your computer sound card line in (you can get the cable from Radio shack) Then you need some software to record the audio as WAV files (44.1 kHz, 16 bits stereo)
When you have you set of files, use a CD burning software to write the music CD. Most CD writers come with this kind of software.
To record the audio to a wav files, i like using CoolEdit, now Adobe Audiotion, but it's about $200 so probably more than you need but this is great software with filters to improve your audio quality.

Answer 4

I hope you get a good answer because I have 2 cassette tapes
I would love to put on CD. One is Sugarloaf, their first two albums which I don't think you can get. The other is a Tommy
James "Christian of the World" on one side and an obscure
album "My Head My Bed and My Red Guitar" on the other. I'll be
watching.
