Roxio has filter software built in that will remove a lot of the hiss, hum and scratchiness, but not all of the more pronounced pops. It works pretty good but you do lose a certain amount of frequency response. Enough that it's noticable. The trick is to record with the best equipment you can get: a good turntable, a better cartridge and a quality preamp. Then you have a better recording to work with when you filter it. The end result sounds good, but it's never going to sound like it was recorded digitally. It is amazing, though, how much you can improve on old tinny pre hifi recordings.
