If you go the Rega P8 way i would combine it with a Rega Apheta cartridge and a Rega Aria phonostage. It will give you a good SQ for the investment.
In my opinion this is the minimum analog setup for good recordings if you want to preserve the SQ. A equivalent CD will outperform the this setup, if the original recordings are good.
I did a lot of digitalizing of vinyl in the last few years. I ended up with a Benchmark ADC which is transparent. For a bit less money RME and Apogee will get very good results.
The most used software would be Audacity.
Make no mistake it is a very time consuming exercise. You have to edit tracks and tags and add album art. You need to stick to a certain convention to label the tags.
My recommendation is to buy equivalent CD‘s and rip them with DB Poweramp. CD’s are very cheap these days. Where no CD is available you digitalize the LP.
Rather spend your time in the Nature than in front of the computer.
