Put simply, you will need to connect your cassette player to your PC soundcard, then play the cassette whilst recording on your PC. A step-by-step guide is available at:

The recording software is the key, there are some free software downloads available at:

I have used ‘Magix Audio Cleaning Lab’ and ‘Audacity’ – Audacity is particularly popular since it is free!
If you record to WAV format, expect file sizes of around 10MB per minute, or 1MB per minute for MP3 (at 128kbps).
Once you have your digital versions of the recording on your PC, you could simply burn them on to a CD (Nero burning software or similar..). If you use Magix Audio Cleaning, the software will burn an audio CD for you without needing additional software (assuming you have a CD writing drive of course!)
You can also download a free PDF version of the step-by–step guide from the download page mentioned above, the guide is complete with diagrams and screen-shots.
The only extra harware you will need is a connecting lead (RCA to small stereo jack), see the online guide for more info on this..
Hope this helps

you need a computer with a line in or microphone jack, a cassette player with a headphone or line out jack and a lead suitable to connect the two, then it should be a simple matter of lanching some recording software, (audacity etc {see links}) then choose the line in as the input, hit record on the computer software and play on the cassette.

The only way I did it is by connecting the camcorder to my PC by a FireWire and using WIndows Movie Maker to suck the video out from the cassette.
