Digitizing vinyl is a pain in the @SS
You have to do it in real time, i.e. you have to play the record all the way through. Instead of a rip that takes a few minutes per CD you have to play a 40 minute album. You will have to edit out the thud when the stylus hits the record and the end of record noise that goes on for 10 minutes because you got distracted and left the room and started doing something else while the record was playing.
You want to be near the clipping point to get maximum resolution but if you get it a little too hot you will overload the ADC and the results are nasty so you start over. Yes, you can use peak limiters or compression but that compromises sound quality.
Once you do get it done you have to go back and edit to put in the breaks between songs and type in album names and song titles.
Unless it is some record that you love and unavailable on CD I say buy the CD.
