Best method and software to convert vinyl to cd


I'm looking for some advice on the best setup for converting some classic jazz lps to cd format.

What considerations should be taken to ensure the best transfer possible (understanding some loss may be expected)? What impact does the sound card in the PC have on the recording? Can you make a recommendation for a card well suited for this task?

Also, what PC software is recommended to perform the splits and pop/click cleaning?

My apology in advance if this topic has been covered perviously and thanks for any advice.

Just saw an ad for this little device that will let you record your records directly into a USB port in your PC...

Surely others will chime in with the best way to deal with the clicks and breaking the stream up into tracks.
