I did a lot of these conversions this past year. I was still using Sarge
and KDE 3.5 at the time.
I have a turntable that has a "line out" connector. I fed this to line
in on the computer's audio card.
I used Krec to record an entire side of a record and save to the hard
drive as a .wav file. I wanted to use Audacity directly, but for some
reason Audacity superimposed a high-pitched whine on the recordings that
I couldn't make go away.
I then used Audacity to cut each .wav file into separate tracks
(manually, one track at a time) and save those as .mp3 files using lame.
I did some .ogg, but mostly mp3.
"Without too much trouble"? Well, it was pretty laborious, but the
results are good.
Hope that helps.
