One of the reasons I invested in SB, and computer audio in general, was to digitize a lot of my vinyl. Out of about 1200 lps, I want to "save" 200-300 for later burning or of course for use with the Squeeze. This project is certainly time-consuming, but it's allowed me to re-listen to a lot of stuff I've neglected and, as commented above, can provide superior fidelity. I love the irony of playing vinyl tunes through a Squeezebox, and amplifying with Russian vacuum tubes!
The product I use is the Xitel In-Port. It is an ADC (I think) that connects via USB. This supposedly avoids a lot of the computer noise issues you have with soundcards. I've found the results to be quite good. Software comes with the In-Port that allows you to set levels, etc. while recording, and a second program that lets you edit into seperate wav files. It has an option to plug-in an encoder, although I've not used this feature. They also give you some decent-quality RCA-ended interconnect, and the USB cord, for hooking everything up. The vinyl-savior product is a high-end record cleaner. I use the VPI-17, which absolutely works wonders! Pricey, but worth every penny to me.
