What is the output format - WAV? You might want to consider using MP3,
which is a compressed format.
 
You may try capturing one song at a time from the LP and then make sure
you have a Sound Editor and cut off the dead air at the begining and end of
each song. Then when you make your copy to the CD you may also try
overlapping by about 4 seconds and doing just those two things could give you
enough room for a couple of more songs in WAV (uncompressed, unsacrificed
sound) onto the CD, I usually am able to get 18 to 24 songs per CD depending
on how much beyond average the songs are. If you have acoustis in your music
you will appreciate keeping them in WAV versus MP3, for an experiment try
recording one of your favorites twice, once in WAV and once in MP3, if you
can't hear the difference then record away in MP3 and for quanity and not
quality.

Good Luck

I record once to WMA Lossless (archival copy) and then again to a lower
bitrate WMA or MP3 (for use with portable devices).

WMA Lossless is like having a zipped up WAV file. None of the original
detail is lost. There are other lossless options available.

I don't know if Realtek Recorder has an MP3 option, but there are a
bzillion CD ripping programs that handle MP3 (free->paid for), all
waiting for you.

You may already have a few on your computer: WMP10, iTunes, etc.
