You really don't "rip" from an LP, you record it. And recording it is
trivial, you can use anything from Windows' recorder applet on up to
ProTools.

More interesting is what do you want to do after you record it. Most
folks want to at least split the songs into separate pieces. Most run
some de-noise/de-pop filters over the songs, etc.

I personally hate the distortions that the noise/pop filters add. I just
listen to them as recorded.

Getting the recording levels right is important to get proper signal to
noise ratios. If you have a low level, as @raglencross wrote, you end up
with crappy s/n ratios


This month's Stereophile has an article on this very topic.
(well, converting LPs to computer files, not USB turntables).
They make the startling claim that properly encoded digital copies sound
wonderful.
