I've had success with ART USB Phono (link below). You can bypass the Phono stage so that it captures the line input. Note: 16/48 max rez.It's hard to argue with your $16 Amazon find, but you can often get this ART unit on the used market for $50 - $60.
Parasound and NAD also make inexpensive A/D converters designed for vinyl transfer that I think would work for you. Schiit used to make one but it's discontinued. These are all north of $200, which may not be worth it for a one-off project like yours. You could probably recoup most of the investment, but that comes with its own set of hassles.
Anyway, I recommend the ART unit if you can live with Redbook SQ. It's small enough to move around, and coming from the Pro Audio world it is sturdily built and easy to use.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
