   I have a number of grammophone records, cassette tapes and minidisks that   
   I want to encode into mp3. I bought a cheap gadget from Amazon that did   
   the trick, but it stopped working, displaying "nil" on the little screen.   
   No one can tell me how to get past this - maybe it's broken. The manual   
   doesn't mention the condition. There is a similar one sold in Hong Kong   
   but I can't seem to buy it, living in Denmark.   
      
   What is the best way to do this, what good gadgets are available,   
   for converting, say, the sound out of a phone jack into an mp3 file?   
      
   There seems to be a lot of software for this, making use of the audio   
   input of a PC, but how good can that be? My attempts with Audio Grabber   
   were not very successful.   
      
   Any advice would be appreciated.
