I have had the best results by recording the vinyl to a .wav file and then burning a CD form the .wav file. You can use just about any digital audio software to record the .wav file. Many software packages can edit the digital audio and remove any pops and scratches. Email me if you need specific help on recording a .wav file, I'll try to provide more specifics.
Hope that was helpful
