How to I connect the hardware, and what kind of software do I need?

I have a lot of old vinyl long playing record albums I'd like to rrecord on my Hard Drive, and then convert to CDs. All I have is 2 audio jacks on the wires from my record player. I have USB on my computer. How to I connect the hardware, and what kind of software do I need?

Thanks in advance
