I am using Audacity to transfer Vinyl to CD - it works great. I can let the recording run on if I get busy and then edit out the long silence at the end - Zoom out for big edits, zoom in for close work. I sometimes use the "Fade In" and "Fade Out" filters at the beginning and end of tracks. In my case I also put a silent space between tracks ( no noise at all) before using "Gramofile" to filter out the clicks and pops, then burn a CD.
A note about Sound Cards: A sound card can have good specifications but when plugged into a PC buss may pick up noise from the buss ( possabiliy from a ground loop between the PC and the audio equiptment). I used a freeware (windows) program ( RightMark Audio Analyzer -audio.rightmark.org) to check the noise levels and frequency response of my SB AWE 64 and then the motherboard sound chipset. The motherboard chipset is better in my case and that is what I use.
