Yep, you'll also need some software. The cable should be connected to AUX IN not MIC! - see the instructions below, and download the free step-by-step guide.
The cable will be stereo 1/8" to go into your soundcard (see info on USB if this is a laptop), other end will need to be whatever your tape player output is. ie. headphone or RCA jacks.
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!) or convert to MP3 (need additional 'dll' file to do this in Audacity)
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.
Hope this helps

use an audio cable (liike a headphone cable with to plugs) put one in your tape deck the other in the mic port on your pc. that should work. but the sound quality will still be analog, not digital

you're able to need patch cords and recording application. i'm no longer conscious of MACs, yet a minimum of with computers, you're able to connect the line out of the tape recorder to the line in of the sound connectors on the computing gadget. then you definately could use some style of application on the computer to catch and shop the sound coming in. you're able to finally end up with a .WAV report. After that, discover some application to transform .WAV to .MP3.
