Scott, What I have used is brass rod that fits over the cable end and then soldered it.
The brass rod is available at Lowe's and Hobby lobby as well i think. It makes a really nice finish to the cable and helps keep the solder where it is supposed to go. Use a cutoff wheel of some sort(dremel or larger) to cut the cable...this will keep it from trying to unravel as you cut it.
