You'll need to borrow/buy a tape deck and buy a 3.5mm jack to phono rca cable.

3.5mm Jack to 2 x RCA Phono Stereo Audio Cable 3m Lead on eBay (end time 29-Mar-11 16:51:55 BST) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Jack-2-x-RCA-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable-3m-Lead-/130460216226?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item1e6008eba2)

Then download: Audacity - it's a free recording software and very easy to use.

Just plug the rca into the tape deck and the 3.5mm jack into your computers mic input, set audacity to microphone, press record on audacity, hit play on the tape deck and your away!!!

If your in the UK head to your nearest car boot sale, if I had a quid for every cassette player i'd seen at one i'd be rich!!

Plenty of decent Technics ones to be had for pennies!!
