what kind of budget?
powerhouse more expensive software option for $399 ->
Acid Pro 4.0
fits this pefectly:

this is of course assuming you are using a win32 system, if it is *nix or Macintosh then that changes things obviously.
edit: as far as cutting bits out and breaking into individual tracks (I do this on a daily basis after transferring from vinyls) my favourite tool is
Soundforge, which costs $400 as well. I use my registered version of the 6.0d build but have seldom used and never purchased Acid Pro aside from an older pirated version. If the need for it arises I might buy it one day
For cheaper options on basic editing (cropping things out/fadeouts/etc) -
free -
audacity Very good program for its age.
$300 - the former Cool Edit Pro, now owned by Adobe and released as
Audition. There used to be a slightly scaled down version of Cool Edit for $80 and the 'Pro' version for $250 but Adobe apparently dropped that scheme from what I can tell on their website.
I personally prefer SF over Cool Edit/Audition as last time I checked (which would be Cool Edit 2.0) there was not any kind of MDI interface that Sound Forge excels in and that even Audacity has.
