How can I copy a CD to a cassette & vise versa

[PeterM]

I need to copy a CD to a couple of cassettes, and I'm wondering how to do
it. I asked here once before, but lost the post on how to do it. I also like
to copy a few cassettes to CD. I have a home stereo system, and a computer
of course. I also have a Sony portable CD burner. Maybe these things
together will work. I need to do this myself. The reason I say this, the
offers I get here from so many nice people is amazing, but I need to finally
do this myself.......Peter I don't mind buying some hardware or software to
get that done, in case I have something missing. I love to go to Fry's and
spend money for a project like that :-)

Play the CD on your audio system and tape it on your cassette deck. This
assumes all of your audio gear is hooked up to permit the cassette deck
to record.

You need to connect the output of a cassette player to your computer's
audio card input, and capture the audio to WAV files. I'm not sure what
level of software is needed to burn CD-audio CDs (as opposed to just
storing the WAV files on the disk).

Thanks James, I think you were nice enough to help me the last time as well.
The first part sounds like I can do that tonight. The cassette to CD part
sounds very difficult to me. I guess I have to move the computer from my
computer room to the living room and make sure that the connections are like
you mentioned. I wonder if this is like what I did here: I copied a CD to my
HD, then I copied the HD information to CD. I remember that I was watching a
conversion process all via Media Player 9. Each file took about a few
minutes to do, but is that what you mentioned about WAV files? I appreciate
your help James.......Peter

Did you try the CD you burnt on a regular CD player to check for success?
I for one have removed all Micro$oft application software from my Windoze
machines, as it's all pretty inferior and at it's base spyware. So I'm pretty
biased toward such things as stripping down your windows to the max, to
max out your potential to keep it secure:

At the least, get rid of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, the gapingest
security holes of recent mankind history.
The Media Player phones home incessantly, no doubt, to keep Gates' eyes on
you. And probably reports to the CDDB all the CD's you stick in your drive
and perhaps what you do with them. So screw that, try fully functional
shareware such as CDWave to scan in your tapes/LPs etc..

Then you should use whatever software came with your CD Burner.. EasyCD/Roxio
is common and generally works, though it aint the greatest. Recommended
alternative
is fully functional demo of Feurio:

Why in the F* won't public schools lose the M$ addiction!? Probably to keep
tuitions high. Linux is free and powerful.
(That said, I'll probably always have GNU-loaded win98 boxes around..)

The easiest method to use for this project is to plug your
cassette player into the AUXILIARY INPUT and OUTPUT ports of your
soundcard. Then you can record directly from and to your cassette
recorder.
Everything uses the software for your soundcard to record the
music files for burning your CD, and recording to cassette directly from
a playback of the CD.

IMHO...
