Hi Jim & other audio enthusiasts, I normally used gramofile with an old SB-compatible Logitech card. Then either record WAV to audio CD, or encode with lame to MP3. I recently converted some old audio cassettes, using a cheap Sony portable radio / tape recorder and just running the cable from the headphone output straight into the sound card - worked amazingly well. Depending on the kind of music and the inter-track gaps on your analogue source medium, gramofile does a more or less good job at auto-detecting the tracks, but it can easily be fine-tuned manually.
I am afraid my record-player is still in a box in the shed and has not yet been unpacked after shifting to Chch - sorry. But it would definitely work with a pre-amp between record player and sound card. One thing I have been wondering is whether I should really replace the vinyl records with CDs. Although the vinyl slowly degrades by abrasion and collecting dust, the records are still good after many decades. This is absolutely not the case with home-burnt CD-Rs. I have experienced failures on several CDs which were not older than three years... Cheers, Helmut.
