The way I do it: Rega Planar 3, RB300 tonearm, Ortofon 510 cart, linked through Pro-Ject Phono Box II pre-amp to a Sony RCD-W100 CD recorder.
Record vinyl to CD (with SBM enabled on the CD recorder), rip CD, run through cleanup software, split tracks where required, burn back to blank CD-R with CD-Text. Optionally then rip "cleaned" CD and encode as MP3. I've had mixed results with MP3 encoding vinyl rips though, even after de-clicking there seems to be a lot of noise that, while largely inaudible, can upset the MP3 encoder. Tried this with Paul Simon's "Rhythm Of The Saints" and the MP3 encoded tracks just didn't sound quite right. Got hold of the non-remastered CD and ripped/encoded that and it sounded perfect. The vinyl sounded slightly better than the CD (apart from the crackle, the joys of recycled vinyl!) but the MP3s made from the CD sounded considerably better than the MP3s made from either the unaltered or the de-clicked vinyl.
