Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC

I am going to start ripping vinyl into WMA files for my dad (I stole his collection). Lossless is what I am going to use.

I have a nice vinyl front end with tube phono stage. I need to know what software and hardware I will need to make this happen.

I don't think the sound quality will be what I need through a sound card. A usb device would be absolutely ideal. I would like to spend under 500 bucks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks - Evan

Sorry if this seems like a newb topic, but I have done alot of searching and had less luck then I thought I would.

I use an M-Audio Audiophile Firewire with my MAC for two way data stream. The USB model can be found used on Ebay for around $100. I just compared the Monarchy NM24 DAC to the M-Audio, and while the Monarchy had more hyper-detail, I enjoyed music through the M-Audio device better.

For the money, I think you would be very happy.
