Can't be done unless you have a "state of the art" stereo system with a CD burning unit.

It's not that difficult to do it with a computer and USB connection, as long as your stereo and computer are in the same room.

A USB cord - that implies you are going to use a computer but you don't want to use software....? huh?
Well you are looking for any easy fix to what is actually quite an involved process - can be done though if you have the patience - if not plenty of internet sites are set up to do the job for you...
This is how you do it:
Difficult to write all the steps down here, but you can have a look at the following for some guidance http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/diy This is certainly 'do-able', if you have the patience....
You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software and CD writer.
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, there are plenty to choose from out on the web, this type of job is perfect for a 'virtual' studio.
The software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily produced for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too and even comes with a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads (audacity avaiable from download.com)– listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….
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...
