(1) Use "Sound Juicer CD Extractor" to convert audio
CD to ".ogg" files.
(2) Paste the Perl source code for "ogg2mp3" into "vi"
and create an executable ogg2mp3.pl file (the '.pl' is
optional). The code is found at:
http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/index.php?pgid=download_index,
under the "What" column.
(3) Download and unpack "lame" from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=290
(4) Install the package: vorbis-tools.
(5) Install the package: build-essentials, if there is
no compiler installed.
(6) Run './configure' from the "lame" directory. Then
run 'make', then 'sudu make install'.
(7) Make sure the ogg2mp3.pl executable is in you
PATH, so you can run it from anywhere.

You won't need this using Linux.

I'm a fish out of water on this one.
