I think you can get the general idea from the various answers that have been posted. But here's a complete answer:
First, you need to get the music to your PC. You need first to make the link between your cassette player to the PC using a cable (stereo or mono, depending on your recording) from your player's output socket to the 'Line-input' of your PC's sound card or line-inpout (always blue in colour).
Then you need to 'capture' the music. To do this cheaply, you can, as suggested, use Window's sound recorder. You can find this program under the 'Entertainment' group. Open the program and start recording, and press play on your player. You may need to play with the recording levels until you get an undistorted recording. Better still, if you can get a good recording/editing program such as Cool Edit.
Once you have capture the music (one by one is best), you need a CD burning program if you are using anything before XP (e.g. win95, win2000). Some CD burning program may have come with your CD player if you retro-fitted it, so check first. With such a program, you just select the music you want to burn on to your disc, and away you go.
Hope that helps.

Oh, not the cassette tape. Unfornuately, you will have to take the cassette to RadioShack (or similar) and they will give you a cord to do it. Use the instructions that come with the cord (never done it, I use CDs!!!) It's probably better in the long run to fix your CD player. I know it might seem expensive, but in the long run it is better than going through the stress of burning songs to tapes (?!?)

Yes, Definitive answer plus software & instructions download follows:
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:
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/diy
The recording software is the key, there are some free software downloads available at:
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/downloads.php
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.

There is a cheap and easy way.
Get a lead to connect the headphone jack of your cassette player to the line in jack on your sound card.
Use the windows sound recorder to record from the line in jack and just record the songs over individually.
Sorted!

Yes, but you will need to buy some usb midi equipment to do it. You need to plug the tape player into the midi device and then into the pc usb port. They cost around £250 new, check ebay for cheaper used ones.

you could do it with a phono to jack plug into your mic socket but it will be low quality and you will need software like soundforge or something. can't you just download the music again? that will be almost cd quality
