on 11/22/2005 I use WinADR. I bought it when I wanted to record music on my old PC, but I had limited hard drive space (wav files can get very big, very quickly). It records directly into MP3 format, unlike some other softwares that record as wav first then converts to MP3. I think the trial software only records 2 minutes. This is the only software I have bought (ever) and it does a great job. It's ideal for recording from Internet radio stations and any other sources of audio. I also use it to record my electric guitar. It's very handy.

on 11/22/2005 I like to use Audicity to record my old LPs and 45s into mp3s onto my computer. Audicity has a version for PC Windows and Mac. Once on my computer, I 'burn' them onto CDs to save space by putting many more onto the CD than an audio CD, and to listen to them on other computers (like at work). Many programs allow you to listen to them, like Mac's iTunes and Microsoft Media Player (both PC and Mac version).
