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, 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 cable you need is illustrated in the guide - you will most probably need small stereo headphone jack to RCA jacks.
Hope this answers your question

a tape player, a computer with a sound card, music software which you can pretty much download for free at download.com, and a cd burner. It's pretty easy to do.

i wouldn't bother the quality is a bit crap if you do but i got my direct tape to CD recorder from an old radio station that was getting turned into an old peoples home which you could have but its the ones that comes in a circular tin not a cassette.
