Martin,

Probably the least expensive solution for getting sound into an iBook 
is the Griffin iMic 
(http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic2/index.php ). It has 
a place to plug in a standard audio jack, converts to USB, whereupon 
(I assume) drivers that you install make it into something the audio 
software can deal with.  US$ 40. It also includes software, Finyl 
Vinyl, for doing the recording, and (I would guess) splitting into 
tracks.
