Hi to everyone
I have some old tapes from the past, and I will like to convert them to CD, using the PC. My audiotape player, does not have audio out puts (red and white jacks), in order to transfer the audio signal to PC. The audio player has only simple red and black wires, for the speakers. I do not now, if there ill be a solution to transfer the audio signal, in this case. Thanks a lot.

Well since it doesn't have a headphone jack from your description.
There are these two options

I used the samething way back with a tape deck. -
If both the tape player headphone jack and the PC inputs are stereo, you would probably need a 3.5mm (1/8") male stereo plug to a 3.5mm male stereo plug adapter. Most PCs don't use a RCA Phono plug for input. So something more like this? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103871 You could also probably find cheaper versions of that. It's a fairly common adapter.
Once you get it hooked up you could use a program like the freeware Audacity to capture and filter if wanted. Make sure you enable 'line in' on your PC audio card settings.

No, you would have to do that manually. If there is silence between the tracks, you should be able to see that on the time line and that should make it easy to find the individual tracks.

If you have a dollar tree in your area (or a 99 cents store), they carry those patch cords there. Especially in your situation, there's not going to be much difference between a $50 and a $1 cable*.
*yes, I said it, Audio Snobs. Come and get me! -
There are a few programs out there that can be set to detect the 'silence' between tracks and separate them during conversion to digital audio. No experience with these, but if you do a internet search for something like, ' vinyl conversion automatically detect and split tracks ', you should find some listed. You could probably substitute 'cassette' or 'tape' for the word 'vinyl'.
Using a program like Audacity, it's not that hard to locate the 'quiet' between tracks. Then it just involves cutting and saving each out. Most often you will need some filtering also to clean up analog noise. -
TotalRecorder can, but the version that can is about $50 US. Another option is to record and filter with Audacity, saving the output as MP3. Then you can use MP3 DirectCut to find the breaks and automatically chop the file up. Personally, I'd just manually cut them up unless I had hundreds of tapes I was transferring.

Its not free, but does convert from vinyl to CD, or cassette to CD and also has the ability to automatically split the recording into tracks or manually if the splitting is not accurate enough
It also can reduce the amount of crackles or noise on your original recording without getting to expensive, it even explains how to go about recording to CD so it explains the whole procedure step by step
It can also let you convert your 78's to CD by playing them at a different speed then the software converts that back to the correct speed if you don't have a player capable of playing 78rpm vinyl
