One word of warning. I bought something similar a few years back. It worked absolutely fine but if you're using it for music tapes you have to stop between each track or it would just record the entire album as a single MP3 file. That could be something that the software has now improved on though.
Most PCs have a line in. Any cassette player will do the job. Connect it to your line in (mic port will do), hit record on Audacity (it's free, it's decent enough for this task, why use anything else) and play on your cassette player and Mr Peeters is your father's brother.
It will produce one big file, but Audacity is your friend in terms of editing the bits you want and cleaning it up a bit. Always work on a copy of the original MP3 though, very easy to find yourself having to record the whole thing again otherwise.
