Most stereo systems that combine a CD player with a cassette deck with a recording function will do this for you. They are readily available and inexpensive, and can be found in stores like Walmart, K-mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, many furniture and appliance stores, etc. (North American stores). Generally, you will get what you pay for, in product and sound quality.
Separate component systems that include a CD player, a cassette recorder, and a receiver can also be purchased at most of the same types of stores.
You can't record music on your digital answering machine because the song is to long and the machine doesn't have that much memory.
That has been a slow process over the past 30 years. There is still analog recording occuring, but it is dying out.

You can Purchase a Privia digital piano at zZounds, Shopzilla, Low Price Shopper, Price Machine, Casio, Amazon, eBay and the Casio Music Gear websites.
The Music Machine ended in 1969.
Digital recordings do not have the hiss, crackling, or other artifacts of older systems like the vinyl record or cassette tape. Digital recordings do not degrade as quickly as analog recordings. There is still some debate about whether digital recordings sound better than analog vinyl records, however.
An audio cassette has the music on it recorded in an analogue format, while a CD records information in a digital format. Thus in order to transfer the music from the cassette to the CD it is necessary to play the music on the cassette into a machine that will sample the sound and convert it into a numeric (digital) form, this is called analogue to digital conversion. It would be possible to build a machine to do this, but most of the 'off the shelf' technology to do this is now sold as computer components (boards to fit into a PC). Thus, depending on how many cassettes you want to transcribe you have two options # Use a company to do this for you (if you have only a few cassettes) # Go to a shop and purchase a PC - tell the store what you want to do and they will configure the PC for you (if you have a lot of cassettes) Look at the links I will place below

A cassette Walkman is a handheld music player which you put a cassette in and headphones in the listen to music.
A digital music player plays music represented by a stream of zeroes and ones (for example, the "pits" and "bumps" on a CD or bits in a computer file). A non-digital (analog) music player plays music represented some other way, such as by a groove in a record or signals on a magnetic tape.
Of course. Copper can just as well carry music from your stereo to the speakers, or digital data from your laptop to the printer.
The CD was originally invented for audio music and used an analog recording method that is incompatible with the modern digital recording method that can be used for both audio and digital.
Sound itself is always analog, though the quality varies. Things on a a computer, iPod, TV, etc. are represented and transmitted digitally, but it is converted back to analog before it gets to the speakers. An example of analog sound storage would be a record player. While both are voltage, digital media is written in 1's or 0's, then converted back into a semi analog voltage to drive a speaker. To the trained ear, modern music which is stored digitally still doesn't sound as good as analog, due to loss in some of the frequencies we hear. Another way to create or transmit sound is acoustic, which is that of a nonelectric guitar or saxophone.
An ADC, or analog to digital decoder, is used to "translate" analog signals into digital signals. An analog signal can take on any value, such as 0.1V, 0.5V, 4.12V, 5V and so on. A digital signal on the other hand can either be "high" or "low", 1 or 0. A computer can only work with digital signals, and therefore you need to convert an analog signal into a digital signal in order for the computer to be able to work with it. This is what you do when you record sounds or music. Sound is an analog signal and had to be converted with an ADC to a digital signal before it can be used in a compter or stored on a CD. A DAC, or digital to analog decoder is the oposite of the ADC. Here the digital signal is converted into an analog signal. This is what happens when you play music from a CD-plate. On a CD there are a number of holes, which each translates as a 0 or 1. These are read with a laser beam which is reflected back into a receiver whenever the laserbeam hits a hole. This then counts as a 1. When the disk is spinning it produces a stream of 1s and 0s, which togerther form a binary string, such as 00010111011101. The DAC then converts this value into a analogue signal, such as 1.1V, which is then used to power your speaker and produce audible sound.
Didn't you hear about the change to digital tv? Old analog tv's will not tune the new digital TV stations.
The advantages of using CD players instead of tape cassette players are that CDs hold more music and it is easy to jump to a specific song. CDs are also easier to transfer to digital files.
