Just to add to Richard's excellent suggestion, you can also use the
Zoom connected by its USB cable to go directly into the computer -
or to download from its internal SD card. That way you don't need a
card reader if you don't have one already. And, I found a 4G SDHC
card that came with a reader too, in a drug store of all places...
in the camera department.

However, the generic sound card on a generic computer may or may
not be adequate to the task. A much simpler solution is to obtain
a device like a Zoom H2 and let it create the files, and then use
a card reader to take the files off the SDHC card and put them
into your storage system. It even comes with the dual RCA-> mini
cable. A cassette deck with an output level control is highly
recommended as do not use the Zooms line input level control to go
below 100, all you do is move down the clipping point (what can
you expect for $250C, $160US).
