For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.At the very least you should have a headphone socket (or a line-out socket) on the cassette deck and a microphone socket (or line-in socket) on the computer, is what AlBags is driving at. These are normally for 2.5mm headphone jack plugs, so a cable with a 2.5mm jack plug at each end will connect one to the other.
Proper line-out/line-in sockets are not governed by the devices' volume controls, where headphone/microphone sockets are.

On the PC, there is a round socket, coloured light blue - that's Line In.
On the cassette player, there will be a similar socket, colour unimportant, but probably got a symbol like a circle with an arrow pointing out of it - that's Line Out.
Both sockets have a diameter of 2.5 mm.
To connect the two, you need a lead with a 2.5 mm plug at each end - readily available in Poundland or similar shops.

Many Thanks Skids and Vagrant, your answers came up as I was answering Al. When all (hopefully) is connected up, I just play the bit of tape I'm on about, but then where does it go in the pc...I should get a message, yes?? I don't caere how much of an idiot I sound, I'd just love to know what this piece of music is!
