When ripping cassette tapes, I do:
- use sox's "rec" to record a wav file of the whole side of a tape.
- open the wav in `audacity' to visually find the spots that separate
  one song from another, writing down the second at which they occur.

I seem to think that is too much work. Why not simply open up audacity, set it
to "read" from line in, adjust your mixer settings accordingly, and then just let
audacity "record" from the line in of the sound card directly? Probably you do want
to save the finished copy of course, before you split it up, but you can also block and
copy-paste the songs over to new wav files from within Audacity itself.
