1213157 2011-06-29 07:02:00 Yup. USB turntable and Audacity. Old LPs to mp3 - excellent!

1213158 2011-06-29 07:07:00 I use the same here. Except the turntable plugs into my sound card. Snorkbox (15764)
1213159 2011-06-29 07:36:00 I have the use (temporarily) of a Logitech from my sister. She got it from Jaycar's and has no idea how to use it. Am doing some of her albums for her, and will get some of my own done while I am about it.:banana

1213160 2011-06-29 07:40:00 Why not! It's great to slap a CD in my car with 200 MP3 tracks on it. Beats having to change CDs while on the move too. Snorkbox (15764)

:eek: I feel sorry for your vinyl collection having to go through a USB turntable with cheap ceramic cartridge.

The best way is to do it via RCA jack to 3.5 adapter. that's what i do, and i record in 24 bit, my turntable has a somewhat decent magnetic cartridge, so it's not gonna damage the hell outta my records and it gives good results.

1213162 2011-06-29 07:54:00 Transferred hundreds a while back to CD. Great software. Useful tool to have is a organizer/cataloger, such as Disclib (www.lyrasoftware.com) so can quickly search, to find tracks on certain CD's. Saves swapping out discs to find tracks. kahawai chaser (3545)

Dunno how to do that and what hardware I'd need? Seems fine with the things I'm using now. Sister is happy, that's the main thing.

And it's not like you have to do it many times thereby possibly damaging the Vinyl right?

I would not worry about it if I were you.

1213165 2011-06-29 09:53:00 I feel sorry for the lot of you. Got rid of all my vinyl with some going back to the late 60s and have replaced them all with CDs.
