Invention Needed

Can someone out there please figure out how to hook up a record player to the computer so I can burn CD's of all my favourite LP's? There are so many songs/bands that Puretracks (the current bane of my existence) has apparently "never heard of" or "don't see the need to carry" that I would love to be able to listen to while driving.

Come on, all you smart boys and girls on the World Wide Web, help a sister out!

RECORD PLAYER--whats that!!!

Hopefully you figure it out soon, as I keep looking at garage sales and auction sales for you for great LP's.!!

there is a way to do that...I know a guy that has hooked up a VCR to his computer and can burn VHS movies onto DVD's...I imagine that you could do that with a record player. I will ask around.

Well I talked to my source and he says that is still no way of hooking it up to your computer BUT.... you can buy a Record Player that has a cd burner built in. Look for it and then you can burn those LPs onto CDs!!!!!

There are audio inputs on sound cards that allow you to connect all manner of audio equipment to your computer. Turntables however have a much lower level output than other things - IE: CD players, cassette decks, etc. The best bet would be to run your turntable through an amp that has audio outputs (IE: the cassette recording output) and then run that into the line in on the sound card. Once you have the line in running, you can use any number of recording applications available that will either save them as .wav files that should then be converted or directly to mp3. I can help you out sometime... I'll sign "Bernie" as you have still failed to give me a proper nickname (only slightly bitter).

Bernie,
I'm sure I'll come up with something after the part-ay next weekend.
Sometimes these things take time. Never rush a Super-Genius.
