You can buy a cassette player to fit straight into your PC !! but they are expensive. You can do this yourself with a standard cassette player:
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
Hope this helps

Be cautious about whether the signal from the tape deck is amplified or not. Some sound cards have "Signal-in" which accepts an amplified connection. Otherwise, a cable with the right sized plugs from the headset-out on the tape deck to the microphone-in will work. Then, it's up to your software reocognizing the soundcard.

If we can put man on the moon, and satellite out into space. Have open heart surgery and brain surgery, I'm pretty sure that you can connect your Cassette Player to you PC.

All you need is a cable adaptor that goes from your player to the PC input (next to the PC speaker output socket) Try Dixon's or similar shop.

If you buy a tape deck, they have A/V Out. Which is red & white RCA cable. Use a RCA doubler ( 2 RCA in 1 RCA out). plug into A/V in on you sound card, plug RCA's from tape deck into RCA doubler. Push play on tape deck, use recorder to record to computer.
