You need an iMic (about $40US from Griffin Technology, http:// 
www.griffintechnology.com).

You'll also need a sound editor that can fix the "hiss" of the tape,  
edit and so on. I'd suggest Amadeus 2 ($35), though I haven't yet  
used Fission ($17) from Rogue Amoeba and it looks really promising too.

iTunes or Amadeus can convert the file to MP3 or Quicktime hinted MOV  
format (much better for web site -- streaming listening instead of  
having to download the entire file first!).
