these are casette tapes and I do remember in the past that you needed a
resistance cable because the output is amplified as opposed to a preamp
output. I will be taking it from an old portable tape player

Why not just use a regular 3.5mm male to male patch cord? You put the
one end in the headphone jack of the cd player and the other in the
microphone jack of the computer. Of course, it would be easier to
just put the cd into the computer and get the files that way, or even
to buy an external cd rom drive so that you can plug it in and do the
same. But for direct audio transfer, I think a patch cord will work
nicely.

Honestly it might be better to simply rip the music from a CD using media
player or some such other program. Now if it's a LP record then you will
have to use such a cable and recording software.

Is there a resistance cable made to use a cd player hooked to your sound
card to transfer the music to the computer? I remember such a cable for
audio use in the late 1960s. I do not remember what impedance would be
required to match for the mic input from an ear phone output.
