You can always convert from .wav to .mp3 later if you wish. The native format of CD's is the same encoding used in a .wav file. Any Audio recording software would work fine, I originally did all mine on windows 98 using nero. I played around with removing noise with various tools but didn't like the results so burnt them to CD as recorded. I know someone who spends hours per track zooming in and manually cutting out "pops" etc, great results but too much effort for me. You can either record the tracks one at a time, or use editing software to cut them up once recorded which isn't too hard either way.	dugimodo (138)

With Audacity you can then save tracks and edit them and burn them to cds once you have saved them as wav files. I have done it this way for quite a few long playing records and it works fine. LL With the USB Turntables you don't need any rca cables, just the usb one that comes with it and plug it strait in the usb port. I copied 3 or 4 albums about 6 or 7 years ago or more with a turntable that had a magnetic cartridge stylus. Because the output of the cartridge is so low you have to put it through an amplifier with a pre amplifier in it to boost the audio signal then connected the stereo audio out to the audio in sockets on my Creative sound card I had at the time. I used the recording software that came with the card which had filters on it for filtering out the clicks and pops you get on a record. :)	Trev (427)
