Audacity (also on my Ubuntu box, now on my Mac) along with Audio Recorder 
make a great combo!  Thanks for that idea.

I've successfully captured then split a couple of tapes effortlessly.

I performed a web search for liblame for Macintosh and came across a 
sourceforge? site.   I downloaded it, pointed Audacity to it when I 
selected mp3, and have been doing well since.
