Get an adaptor, plug in, and record 'em with this:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

then you can edit 'em up and use the split-by-markers feature to split songs to separate files - uncompressed for CD burning or mp3 (read the website to learn how to make mp3 work on the software).

you'll just have to record them all in in reatime, I'm afraid. Have fun!

Despite the many adverse comments I've read, I've been using the Griffin iMic with NO problems along with the free software, Final Vinyl.
I suspect that, like most Mac freezes, the ones with this are when folk try to use it with tiny amounts of Ram.
As others have found, the bundled software won't load for some reason, so it's essential to download it from the website.
Setting the recording level is a matter of trial and error and the program is poor on helping you with this.
Importing into iTunes and converting to AAC is easy when you know how. There's lots of guidance on this elsewhere.
