Can anybody recomend a softwere package which will allow me to record my old albums to CD? Looking on the web there looks to be a whole host of products, each claiming to be the best. I have a spare TX turntable, but do I then have to obtain an amplifier. Also if you have experiance of downloading, how difficult is it to remove the hiss and scratches form the recording and is it worth the hastle?

Well, if you want to spend no money, you can easily record each side into your pc as a WAV file, thenhack it into seperate tracksand convert them to mp3's, if you hunt for free converters and the like.
Personally,
I bought Spin-It-Again last year to convert some of my LP's to the
modern age (having gotten fed up with trial periods and the like

It's not free but
it's genuinely very good software, really good interface and
intuitive. It's just a pain that I now have a Mac rather than a
windows setup; I need to get an emulator i suppose
I use CD Spin Doctor which is part of Toast - a program I use on my Mac. I don't use the hiss and crackle filters. It does split the recording into tracks and having done so, iTunes will often find the name and track list of the album.
My B&O Icons:
It really is a massively time consuming task if you intend converting your whole record collection. Much simpler to buy the CD and rip it or simply download from the 'net
