If you don't have an audio input on your soundcard, then you can either buy yourself one that has it, or buy an Alesis Multimix 8 USB for about $125 (I recommend this over the sound card).
If you have the Alesis Mixer, plug it into your computer's USB port.
Run a 1/4" audio jack or Audio cables into the mixer from your cassette player.
Download & install Audacity (free audio editing software).
Begin recording while simultaneously hitting play on the cassette player.
End recording when the tape is done.
Save the file to your hard drive, then burn it to a CD.

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/index.php
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.
Hope this helps

Use the Audio card of your PC to capture the audio to your hard drive. Then use Windows media player to add it to your library, make a CD, etc.
