This probably goes without saying, but I certainly hope that all of you
who are doing this mp3 conversion stuff are doing backups of all your
audio files onto some sort of external media (DVD-R or CD-R). A failed
HDD would be terrible.

Well, Protools is great for doing audio edits, but you probably
want something a bit easier:
Spark ME (http://www.tcworks.de) free version, Bias PEAK
(http://www.bias-inc.com/) there are demos to download.
You can probably do all right from a mixer with phono inputs to
the mic input, if your Powerbook has it, or use a USB audio device
(http://griffintechnology.com, http://www.m-audio.com).

Pedro, sounds interesting (and time-consuming) what you
are doing. can you tell me your process as I am interested in
transferring some of my vinyl recordings on to my harddrive and then to
MP3 format. I have a Mac G4 laptop. What programs and/or hardware
connections do I need?
Also, can anyone recommend the best (and easiest to
learn) program out there to get a mixes on to a cd via
turntables>mixer>G4 harddrive? I heard that ProTools is good for this. I
downloaded the free version but it seems a formidable task to learn.
thx,
