I've had really good success with gramofile.  The great thing about this tool
is that is has some track detection and track interval tuning, so you actually
get a .wav of each track for most records.  I've had to tune the settings a
little for some that had tracks really close together, but most of the time
the default setting worked fine.  Then you just unleash an MP3 encoder on
the .wav files and there you go.
