1. Does your track recorder have an optical out jack?

If so, that'll be your best way to get transferred to a laptop by keeping it all digital.

Almost certainly you'll be looking for a USB adapter than can handle optical input.

Otherwise you'll be looking for something like a Berhringer UFO202 -- it can handle phonograph level (applies the RCAA amplification), or normal line level input (which will be the audio output from your track recorder). You'll then have to futz with output levels to make sure you don't overload the input

I can't help much beyond that because I'm a 100% linux person, so software's all different.
