You need to plug the audio lead into the Line In port on the computer. Use
your audio software to record from that source (not sure how its done on the
Mac, on the PC I press 'play' on the tape deck and 'record' in SoundForge).
Edit the audio (put track markers into it etc) to suit, then use your CD
burning software to write it to CD. Sorry I cant go into detail - like I say
I come from the PC side of things, and besides, I havent done that for
/ages/.

HTH,

Olly.
