You should need to buy very little (maybe a cable)
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

Simply goto Radio Shack get a Cord that has Two RCA PLUG to Ear Phone/MIC Plug. Depending on whether you cassette Player has RCA plug or just earphone then you would need two and two female RCA fitting to put them together. Now you have Ear Phone to MIC or LINE IN to Computer. Open up Start, All Programs, accessories, Entertainment, Sound Recorder and record your sound. You may need to add time to the recorder Until you figure out how long your WAV will be.
