Tape -> MP3

I’m looking for solution to a particular problem. I have source audio material on cassette tape. Assuming I have a machine with audio inputs, what sort of software (preferably free, or cheap) should I be looking for to:

  • rip the audio in realtime from the sound card to disk,
  • cut the file (it’s lecture-style) into manageable portions, and
  • convert the files from (I assume) AIFF to MP3.
