Yes and yes
But you need to be a little more specific, when posting..
For instance you can connect an analogue source such as, Cassette deck to PC and record with say--Audacity, for analogue-->Digital..

Yes!..The sound card on your PC converts the analogue signal to a digital music file..An ADC(analogue to digital converter) is needed to create a pcm data stream that are in Audio CDs(compact discs) or digital music files,(i.e mp3..

Because your computer is in the digital world, anything seen or heard on your computer is already digital. All your files saved on your computer ARE digital. You may want to change the format. I suggest you research before jumping in.

The most common formats are FLAC and APE lossless and mp3 lossy. You can not hear the difference between lossless and HiFi lossy but you lose a great deal of quality going to lossy. A good way to preserve your work is to burn your lossless album to CD then convert the lossless to a HiFi mp3 using a HiFi encoder like Lame. Then you do not really need the lossless files. Some keep the lossless files to be more safe.
