   I've used gtkpod and it works ok.  It feels like itunes, ie the   
   interface is similar.   
      
   To "rip" vinyl try gramofile.  This is actually a command line program,   
   but it does have a usable though primitive VU meter to adjust your   
   record level (using your alsa mixer).  You can either save the resulting   
   wav file to disk or pipe the output of gramofile into your favorite MP3   
   or OGG encoder.   
      
   Gramofile also has a click and pop filter, though I've not tried this   
   feature.  It also makes some attempt to break up a disk into tracks by   
   looking for 'gaps' in the music.  This only works if you save the wav to   
   discrete files.
