I wanted to know if there is any way to record a CD from cassette tapes...I'd like to transfer my music library.

Record the tapes onto the computer. Then you can either straight out record them to CD, or there are many software packages that make them sound more listener-friendly. I use Steinberg's Clean software when doing something like this, and it works good for me. There might be better ones, but Clean works good to get some of that cassette hiss out, and to bring some liveliness back to the sound. You need a CD burner in the computer obviously. I've seen Goldwave recommended as a good free audio recording program. You need to plug your cassette deck's line out into the soundcard's line in (not mic in). Then record using Goldwave, or whatever other software you are using. You save the recordings as WAV files. Then you can do that "sweetening" using Clean or something similar. Then you burn the WAV files to a CD. Presto chango! You now have a possibly better sounding CD from that old cassette.

Well,
You need a computer and a CD burner, a good sound card(tape in), a good tape deck, and some recording software such as n-tracks if you want it free. if this does not help you out then repost and we can get more detailed about it.

Thank you all soooo much. I think I can manage this but I need to know where the sound card's "line in" is. Can anyone help?

I believe on the Live card it is blue. Please someone tell me if I'm wrong. It's on the bak of the computer where you plug your speakers in. One of the other plugs, should be labeled "LINE IN".

If you don't have a CD burner, or a good soundcard, you can just get a phillips stand alone. Making the seperate tracks is a pain in the ass, but it'll work. You can just go tape out from the cassete to tape in on the CD recorder, its easy.
