Audacity will allow you to record in real time directly to .wav format.
The older version of Musicmatch I have will allow you to convert analog 
to .mp3 in real time. It can also be set to break at each track and add 
filenames for you.

On the recording standard it depends on what your playing the music on 
and how long the tracks are.
I have normal cds with 23 tracks in .cda format.
In 192 bit mp3 I have put 110 tracks on a CD.
If I burn to DVD I can throw about 600 on there. BUT that limits what 
can play them back.
