Alan--
I've transferred a lot of music from tape to CD.  It is a time intensive job
so if you can buy the CD for the same music then buy it.
If not, then you need a program like Sound Forge.  The music must be played
on a cassette player hooked into the computer to create one file per side of
the cassette (you can play the tunes indiviidually and make separate files
but I found it easier just to let the whole cassette play one side).  After
you have the file of multiple tunes, you need to go in Sound Forge and break
it apart into separate tunes, fix as required, name and store the file
(format you select).  Then you can make CDs out of these files.

If you want more detail, ask questions.
