It's actually far easier than people think. First get a cassette player with a speaker jack (hole). Now you need a wire that has the jack to fit into that hole (a 3.5mm jack if you're buying one) on both ends.
Now plug in that wire into the cassette player and at the back of your computer; the "Line In" port. Now go to sounds options (Control Panel> Sound and Audio devices). Go to properties and click recording. now make sure "Line In" selected and when you play from the cassette player the sound will come out of your computer speakers.
To record it you need some sound recording software. I recommend Audacity:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
You can use it to record Audio from files, microphones, even record cassettes as MP3 files using the Line In port on your computer. You can also mix many separate files together into one track. There are also many options that allow you to play the music file in reverse, changing the pitch or tempo and many others.
Hope that helps.

You can read about it from the link below. There are probably two different ways. I've done Vinyl Records to the computer using software, so from a cassette to the computer shouldn't be that hard.

If your cassette player has a "Line Out" Jack you Can feed the cassette music into the "Line In" on your Sound Card, and you should be able to put it to your hard drive and then burn it to disc,
