you just need software such as itunes, which has a converter which can
be used to convert to mp3. I think you have to set it in the options
to do so at first. there are probably loads of converters though, just
google wav to mp3.
I don't do any direct recording nowadays so can't really recommend
software for that, though I think audacity is free

I've only seen the second one for sale in magazines recently and it
was not very expensive.
I did point you at Audacity, that's what i meant by direct recording.

This is a nice little free program you can use to record to wave or directly
to MP3. If you are recording vinyl you will still need a turntable with a
built in preamp or a separate preamp to boost the audio signal for your PC
mic input. This program will not cleanup any noise like audacity can.
I use this program for recording live from a radio or off the net.
