Adaptec have just announced Toast 4, due out in the fall for about 
US$100, less if you already own Toast (about $20 as far as I can gather). 
Naturally, you need a CD burner as well. The press release reads in 
part:"...seamless burning of authorized MP3 files to audio CD, CD Spin 
Doctor (turn LPs into CDs), access to the CDDB online Disc Recognition 
Service, and the ability to download and burn encrypted Liquid Audio 
music files."

Toast 4 has specific components that allow the user to transfer LPs to 
CD, among other things. The program also allows you to get rid of clicks 
and hisses, although the blurb made no reference to humming pianists. 
Anyway, if it's as good and as easy-to-use as Toast 3.5, Toast 4 should 
be a winner.
