I actually transfer old records to CD. But your need is no different. I use the Spin Doctor application which is part of the Roxio Toast 5 Titanium package. Its works great. Toast came with a cable that I connect from the stero speakers plugs to the microphone jack on my Macintosh.
While I play my record (or tape) it saves the file on my Macintosh as a AIFF file. I use that file to burn to CD, but you can use it and convert it to a MP3 via iTunes.
You need some software to acquire the audio data. There are a number available. I like Coaster, freeware you can find on version tracker. I would search version tracker for recording programs and choose one you like. QT can be used for playback and for editing but not for recording.

Hope that helps.
