I'm sure my way is not optimal. I record to tape and transfer to CDs and mp3s as required. With piano music every little adjustment makes a big difference. Things such as position of microphones and level of recording volume are critical to getting a decent result. Also, the acoustics of the room will affect the sound. Soft furnishings absorb sound and bare boards reflect it.
There is really no short cut as your own situation is likely to vary from anyone else's. You just have to try lots of recordings using all possible combinations of positions and settings until you get the best sound for your own piano and environment. Good equipment helps, of course, but it won't play the right notes for you.
