Connect the OUT of your tape player (with a RCA cable) to the soundcard IN (mini jack). Run a wave editor like WaveLab, Soundforge ect.. select the recording source in the soundcard panel and hit the record button. Now you have a big recording which must be split into tracks, after the splitting simply burn your tracks with a burning program.

Just to add;If you have some hiss on tapes(which is a common thing--nothing to be worried about),Try clean(Steinberga)...You got there allready automated settings for people who never even did that,and depends on time spent,you can get fairly good results...There is some better software also,but is a much more complex....
The profile-based noise reduction in EAC or Nero Waveedit is amazingly effective... considering the price.
It is NOT, as some programs give you, merely "noise gating" that suppresses anything quiet enough to be declared noise, but actually strips the noise from the sound.
It works well with constant noise, like tape hiss (or for testing, PC fan noise on an open-microphone recording) - I didn't expect much from it until I tested it. It also seems to do very little damage to the overall quality - unless the noise was very loud.
Use the least "reduction" level needed to get "clean" results.
To generate the profile, you must select a sample area which contains ONLY the noise that you want to reduce - no wanted sound, and no occasional noises ... this isn't magic - ask it to do much, and you'll fail miserably!
