Hi Cheryl and Linda, Yes, it can be done same as recording records to the computer. Roxio makes software that you can use to do this. Simply get a tape player and feed the line output to the input on the back of the computer that is the audio input. Use the software to do the recording with. It will record onto the hard drive and you can save it then to record to the CDs. I used Roxio's Easy CD 6 record software and then used the Audio Central part of the software to do the recording. It has a waveform that you can use to determine how loud to set the cassette player while recording to the hard drive. If you want to do this the easy way get an Allwrite DV recorder and it will make it possible to just hook up your cassette to the DV recorder and record right onto the CDs. You can also copy your old VHS tapes to DVDs this way. I'm in the process of doing this now for my VHS tape collection.
