I have done this on the cheap in our lab at the University of South Florida. I used a cable that I bought from Target (~$6) and any cassette recorder. You plug the cable into the headphone jack of the tape player and the other end into in the mic jack on the computer. I then used audacity (free, open source software) to split the large track into smaller tracks. You can then convert to .mp3 and burn to an audio CD (using windows media player). Here is a link to the cable online http://www.sfcable.com/store/10a3-06.html This process does take some time, but doesn't require any special equipment. In fact I trained my student employees and it is now a relatively painless process.
