I've used the following to record hundreds of LP's to my hard drive then to CD-R:
Cool Edit Pro
Cool Edit 2000 w/
Sound Forge (full, not XP)
Steinberg WaveLab
GoldWave
I got the best results with Cool Edit Pro or Cool Edit 2000 w/ the Audio Cleanup plugin (both have exactly the same funcionality/tools for this task). None of these programs is "super" user friendly, the programs that are easy to use also happen to be really poor tools.
