In terms of cutting up a recording of a whole LP side, try getting a
copy of Steinberg Clean - I have V4 - which can be bought on eBay for
a fiver or so.

The easy bit is the cutting. It shows a wave trace with moving marker
so it is easy to find the track gaps, click on the gap, and when all
have been done tell it to cut. It retains an uncut copy and adds each
of the cut tracks below it in a list. You can then retitle each track
and anti-click them if you wish, either manually or automatically (at
which it is surprisingly effective.) You can also fade in and fade out
a track with the simple moving of a marker with your mouse. Its a long
time since I last used it but ISTR it also has a normalising feature
but I may be wrong.

Audacity (which is free) is another sound programme which is very easy
to use and works extremely well. It too has a sound trace but you have
to mark, cut, and export each track to save it in any universal
format. Click reduction/removal, level correction (frequency selective
or wideband) etc is very simple.
