I want to copy some music from my old cassete tapes, to my computer, so i could save them or burn them to a cd. i also have some tapes that my friends and I have recorded... is there a device or software that can do that?

well i have another way my friend. i used it to convert my huge collection of bengali songs into CD as all of them were not available in stores. you need 1. walkman 2. connector with two side sockets which goes in to mic of your comp and earphones of your walkman 3. audio recording software. i used cool edit. you can do what ever you want. and then play the casset on the walkman and you get the audio at the microphones. some times you may have to switch to line in instead of mic. thats it. record, convert and enjoy.

The line-in has a better quality as the mic-in will capture noise

You can buy tape drives which are available at many stores. You can buy these off eBay, Amazon, etc. USB Tape drive can be easier to use. Once you have it, connect it to PC and copy the data/songs from tape to PC

I used music jukebox and my cassette player to transfer the songs into my computer. Then I used cool edit to edit the songs and remove the noises in the songs. Longtime ago, when I didn't have good pay or salary, I used this method to transfer the songs of cassettes to CDs from my friends for little amount of money. I think you can do it with music juke box, cool edit, and a cassette player to transfer songs to CDs.
