I understand I can plug a turntable through a preamp into a soundcard, and
then record to a PC based CD-R.

1.  What soundcard is recommended?  One alternative is the Soundblaster Live
Value or Soundblaster Live - what is the quality for my purpose?  Do I need
to step up to something like a Gina card?  What other cards would be good?
Is it true that the SB Live samples at 48KHz, and I need 44KHz to record to
CD, and will therefore get a sound degradation?
2.  What minimum spec do I need for the A/D converters?  Does anyone know
the specs on the A/D converters on the SB Live? (e.g. 16 bit, 18 bit, etc)?
3.  What software is recommended?
4.  What turntable/cartridge is recommended?

Thanks,
