Yes, you can digitally record them by plugging your casette player into the line-in of your computer's sound card.

It's a bit of a pain to do, and you have to know a little bit about audio recording techniques (understanding things like level adjustments, noise floor, and clipping), but it can be done.

Many CD-recorder drives come with software that's meant to help you do this sort of thing: Turn your cassettes and LPs into CDs. You probably already own such a piece of software and you've just never used it yet. You can just skip the part about burning the CD and instead take the resulting WAV files and compress them into MP3s for the player.
