Recording from cassette to laptop setup

[ed nickus]

All I get is files with feedback when trying to record into Sound Forge 10.. Can you help?

How are you doing it? The simplest way would be to connect the headphone jack of the cassette player to the microphone or line in jack of your computer.

I realise this is a little late, but for what it's worth...
RCA or headphone output of cassette to mic input of laptop is not ideal - for a start, you would need a stereo mic input (not standard for a lot of laptops), and the levels would need adjusting to get it just right.
A better way to do this (if you don't have a stereo input into the laptop) would be to get a USB interface - there are loads around, just make sure they are stereo (the cheap ones from eBay are mono). If using a PC, then the line in (blue) would be the right input - you will still need to be careful with the levels though...
