iTunes Match - Best Tools for Vinyl 'Match'

What are the best tools for ensuring a good outcome with iTunes Match for Songs ripped from Vinyl?


It would be helpful to know for both Mac and Windows 7 PC - please include any sequences if known to work well.


Persumably a great sound card is needed to take source feed from high quality audio equipment - but beyond this what works best?

I see this thread is going on three years old, but I'm just now attempting to convert my vinyl to iTunes to Match. My success rate appears to be 0%. Based on your posts I suspect that my inexpensive Ion turntable with the EZ Vinyl Converter software might be my biggest problem. I have an old copy of Audacity, but have yet to give that a shot. My question is, two years on have you arrived at any method that gets a higher success rate? And I'm guessing this is a dumb question, but why can't Apple use the track/artist/album info to match the songs?
