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.

My interest in this same subject led me to consider a stand alone recorder, one not PC based. In addition to far superior (I've read) audio I'd have the advantage of keeping equipment together. The http://www.hhb.co.uk/hhb/usa/hhbproducts/cdr830/index.asp

type player lets you use CD-r's rather than CD audio's because this recorder, there are others, is for the recording industry. This machine could also take my Internet radio or music site's that generate a digital signal and record that.

But I haven't done it yet so I can't give you a critical appraisal.
