Two questions. How important is sound quality? How much are you willing to spend?

Oh. One more question. Do you have a computer with a CD burner?

cheapest and easiest way:

tape deck-line out to computer line in

use goldwave or a similar program to record the audio as a .wav file. save it, burn it to a cd. there's ways to clean-up the audio, but i never took the time to learn any of that. sometimes i would raise the volume a bit, but thats all. just a raw, analog transfer to cd.

im sure there are other/better ways to do this, but thats the simplest/cheapest way i know.
