There's just no other way.

Something like this Amazon.com: Ion Tape2PC USB Cassette Deck: Electronics will do it for you. There's literally no other option, unless you have an old handheld cassette deck with a mike, and the kind of recording you're going to get from that is, quite frankly, just not worth it.

Even if you get the music onto a CD it still can't be transferred onto a tape without a tape deck that records.
I called Ion... they literally have not a single product which allows you to go from PC to Tape. They only go from Tape to PC
