I demand this thread be stickied. Good question as i have often times wondered about this myself (without losing sound quality)

Sound Forge 4.5. Get it cracked. My method is buy a huge 3Metre cable from my stereo, into my microKORG into my Numark mixer, into my PC and Sound Forge.

Personally I use goldwave and wavelab, but they're not free. Audacity is freeware and does about the same job.
You connect your audio source's line-out to your soundcard's line-in, use the audio control panel in window (assuming you are using windows - for mac if it were me I'd give up) to set the line-in recording level, and record in audacity while playing your audio source.
The recording level needs to be set so that the recording isn't really quiet or produces loads of hiss if normalized, but no so loud that is distorts ("clips").
Once recorded you can save the file to a wav (for future editing and burning to CDR), trim off the start and end silences, apply filters and save as mp3.

The shorter is the cable, the better the sound will be
