I am trying to take a fair number of Minidiscs and convert them to MP3. What I need is a program that can go from an analog input directly to MP3. Soundjam for the classic OS did this pretty well, but it doesn't seem to recognize my analog audio port when run in classic, so I have to reboot into OS 9 and it is generally a pain. It also will just do one track at a time, and ideally I would like something that would let you just press a button (or even something that would sense the silence between tracks) and start a new track while the analog source is still playing.

As it is now, I am recording the whole minidisc with Soundjam as one long MP3 track, and then breaking it up later in Quicktime Pro player, but it is time consuming and a little tricky.

I tried using CDSpinDoctor, but it will only encode to AIFF, and then converting that to MP3 takes quite a while and is an unnecessary step. Any ideas for an OS X program that will do what I want?

The new version of Audion supports this.

I could throw together a program quickly that would do what you need. I've been experimenting with all of the pieces you need.

let me know
