MusicMatch will record from the line-in on your sound-card and can convert WAV to MP3 and the other way around. It's not my first choice, but it's easy and free. www.musicmatch.com
I too am interested in ripping and posting to mp3.com. Any suggestions? Comments? Problems? Questions? Answers? Better yet, could you come over to my house and do it for me?
