What sound card do you have?
what type of tapes are they? speech, music etc?
Do you care much of the quality of the tape/sound?
otherwise if you have a decent sound card with a line in and don't care much of the quality then just download this and then hook a cable out of the tape player's line out or headphones socket and into the line in (or if you don't have one a microphone input) on your sound card.
Depending on what the plug on your tape player would be i think you'd be looking for something like this or this
Total cost: ~$10 or less for the cable. (unless you want to change the sound card..)

I replaced all of my vinyl records, and cassette tapes with CD's long ago. I do have some cassettes in my car that are about 12 years old. The dry climate here in Montana helps keep the tapes playable. I have a lot of music on my computer, that doubles as my home stereo.
Rotting 30 year old cassette tapes may not sound too good anyway
