I can boot into Ubuntu,  I wonder if there is a KDE equivalent, h-m-m-m.

Well the audio by default doesn't go to a soundcard.  That cuts down on cheap 
audio circuits getting into the act.  The Windows software works well but my 
FAT partition is really too small to be useful, and I would be happy just to 
do the same work in Linux.  I'll look at Audacity and see what it can do.

Of course it would be nice to remove some of the pops and clicks that are now 
built into my LP's and 'gramofile' hasn't impressed on the tests I have done.
