I've always used sox, audacity, and lame for this, on Linux. One of the commands in the sox package is "rec", which records the line-in to a WAV file; I record the entire side of the cassette tape with rec, then use audacity to break it into tracks. Audacity makes it extremely easy to find the gaps between songs; it displays the waveforms of the audio tracks, and the gaps are easy to identify visually. I never felt the need to look for a way to automate splitting at the gaps, but I imagine it would be fairly straightforward to do; someone has probably written such a tool already. Once I've saved each track to a separate WAV file, lame does a great job converting them to mp3.
