would I do better to buy a more advanced soundcard maybe with its
associated software?

Sound card - pretty much anything if you just want to get pings and
chimes when you get new emails.


Unless they otherwise unobtainium, the novelty of LP-CD transfers will wear
off after approx 3 LPs. Especially if you subsequently hear a real CD of
the album.

That is true if one of the following circumstances exist.
1. Your TT gear sucks
2. You are near deaf
3. You are so consumed by anti analog biases that it takes over your
judgement.
