The easiest and cheapest was to do it is to buy a cassette player with a usb out. This one does the conversion and you just move the MP3 to your computer.....

Otherwise, you'd have to get a home recording setup with an analog to digital converter that has line level inputs and recording software.

yeah given how cheap this is, it's a non-brainer (if it works as advertised).

Depends on when you ask. I got tired of constantly updating this section lol

Ha! Yeah, I'd look for one that's made a little better... especially, if you have a lot of cassettes. :thu:
There aren't many companies making these things anymore... maybe this one:

Or this one:
