How Do I convert vinyl records and audio cassettes to CD’s ? What computer software exists to do this?

I want to make CD-R recordings of some out-of-print cassettes and vinyl records that I already own. This is not to violate copywrite as I don’t go for that – this is simply for personal use. I have some brand new high-end PC’s so, that end I got covered.

What software do I need?
Is it Freeware or commercially available?
How can I enhance the new sound files before creating the CD copies?
Which file format is best?
Should file compression be used?

Do I just plug the playback device directly into my sound card or is there more to it than that?

Or is it better to hire the work done by someone who knows what they are doing?

If you got links to reference websites, that would be great. Thanks.

At what heat do vinyl records start to warp? How can I prevent this in a car over long distances?

I am moving across the country and I don’t want to ship my records, so I was going to take them in the car with me. I need to know if this might be a problem, or what steps I can take to avoid warping the vinyl in the trunk, or the backseat.
