Laptop to record LP's?

I was about to make a tape of an LP for a friend when it occured to me that I might be able to use my laptop and burn a CD instead. In this instance, I'm not really concerned about it being of high audiophile quality. Has anyone done this that can give me an idea of how to go about it? I have a Modulus 3A preamp. The album by the way is Louis Armstrong's Stash Christmas album. It's a great album if anyone is looking for some good Christmas music to add to their collection. Thanks.

I got very satisfactory results using IBM 570 laptop and Musicmatch SW. It's a pain if you want to separate tracks, but if you're satisfied with 1 LP side = 1 track, it's just like recording to tape, but better sound quality by far.

I had a fellow A'goner turn me on to this device. It my not be the highest quality but it works great. The program that splits the tracks is great with easy editing.

Qpainter236, what are you referring to by "not the highest quality"? Are you talking about the quality of the hardware or the quality of the sound conversion?
Thanks
