Tape ins and outs are the way to go. Get a device like Turtle Beaches SRM, which is a USB sound card on a stick, which will take the output from the tape outs or aux outs, and input it into the computer with out the risk of blowing the sound or mother board on your computer. It also acts as an output to drive the aux ins so you can play it back on the boom box. You can also get a Creative 5.1 sound card to install into the computer for less than $30.00, and once again it may save your mother board from being fried (how much is that worth?)

Whatever you do, resist using "clean up" options on software as it'll improve the sound on your pc but when you play it back elsewhere itll be rubbish.
