If you want to digitize music/audio from a cassette tape, I'm not sure that bluetooth would be the best way to connect it to your PC to do so.  Maybe the audio quality from a cassette tape is such that it would be fine with a bluetooth connection, but I'd think a more direct connection (such as connecting to a line-in on your PC, or using a USB audio interface) would provide better quality.  I have a cassette player that connects directly via USB that I bought for digitizing some cassettes I had, which I think worked fairly well.  It was a fairly inexpensive device though, so there may be better versions of such devices that offer better quality.
