LP to CD transfer

[M Holmes]

OK all you techies.

They've started selling the CD-write hifi units here at 700 quid (about
1000 Dollars I guess).

They'll be the CD-R write-once systems I guess. So presumably they could
write CD's from LP's (not illegal if I own the LP's).

Is it likely that these could also be connected to a 'puter to write
stuff to CD like 'puter files and software?

Also, if I were to use one to write my LP's to CD then it would obviously be
better if I could zap out the snaps, crackles and pops. Would it somehow
be feasible to play an LP, record it digitally on a 'puter, edit the
file using some fancy software to get rid of the pops and then write the
results to CD?

What would be needed to do this? Is the necessary software available at
a reasonable price?

Ta in advance for any help.
