As hinted earlier in this thread ripping LPs is a tedious task. Apart from the analog equipment which should be prestine it is worth mentioning that most of the real "time" goes in cleaning up and processing the resulting audio files. A couple of year back I did a little research of the (free) software available then to cleanup my DAT life recordings. Quickly I settled on CoolEdit Pro, which was acquired by Adobe. It sports an intuitive user interface does some nice filtering a most important of all has a plugin capability with one a very valuable plug for noice reduction. If you don't want to pin-point every click tick and pop by hand this is the road to go. it mostly find and eliminates clicks by itself with next to no effect on the music itself. Especially for ripping is the cue/list feature that would allow you to make a cue-sheet that than can be used to split the original sound file. Great software, I love it.
