I have so many cassettes, yes cassettes, (I am old LOL) and would like to save them to CD. Is this possible with a regular cassette/CD player and notebook computer that burns CD's? Is there a patch cord or some sort of USB that would allow this connection ? Thanks for your help.

A simple RCA cable will connect your player to the "line-in" of the PC. If it is stereo, then there is a 2 to 1 RCA cable that you can get at Radio Shack. You also need a software to record the analog input from the cassettes. I believe Windows Media Player will do this and also burn the CD's.
Good idea, because eventually those tapes go bad from deterioration.

You will need to add a sound card unless your computer has stereo inputs. The microphone jack is mono. You would also need a program that will take the music input and parse each song into a separate mp3 file. Once all of the music is converted to mp3's then you can burn them to CD.
I have used a program that is part of the Microsoft Plus package to parse records. It cost about $19.95 from Microsoft.
Instead of a sound card there may be a cable to go from the tape player to a USB port. Maybe someone knows of one.
Windows Media Player can not record, only burn.
