Dimethios, a little info about the digital recording stuff I use, or have come across. Links are just for info, not a commercial recommendation.

I use a little Yamaha gadget that takes a standard line-in signal, and has a USB out. It comes with recording software, which I run on my PC laptop. Supposedly the advantage to this, versus connecting audio cables directly into a sound card, is that you avoid hum or interference or whatever from the computer, and also reduce risk of pulses that can damage the computer. I don't know about those issues, but anyway this seems pretty good.

Griffin Technology's PowerWave seems like it might be a cooler and cheaper product with the same capabilities, and even work on both a Mac and PC.

I also use a PC software tool called Cakewalk Pyro to split tracks, and also to make cds with the ability to adjust the volume for different tracks before burning. There might be something better or easier, but it's cheap and works for me.

Also, there's the black box stereo component recorder/burners, and the little portable hard drive player/recorders made by Archos, RCA, Digital Mind, and other brands. Dunno much about them though.
