Just have to stick my 2¢ worth in here. A very simple program that I have used for both vinyl and cassette ripping for over a year is "RipVinyl" by Wieser software. It rips into Wav format that can go straight to cd. Only negative is you will have to re-name the tracks manually,but imo,that's not a biggie. And the total cost is usd$7.00. : http://www.wieser-software.com/products.shtml
