I'm attaching a handout I developed which explains the same basic thing. He's using Audacity, which is what I'd recommend. It's free, cross-platform, and fairly easy to use. One thing to note is that you'll need to do one of these two things to end up w/ seperate files for each song: - so an individual recording for each song, or - transfer the entire cassette (or each side, anyway) and then split the long recording into individual songs If you're on a Mac (which I think you are, Dr, Smagorinsky) and want to burn a CD, you can use iTunes for that part of the process. If you don't mind spending a little money you can buy a special rig designed to do exactly this. Google "transfer cassette to mp3" and you'll get plenty of hits. Here's one example (though I'm not endorsing it). http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=210663763&listingid=37031796 Hope that helps.
