Someone told me that it is possible (cheaply) to buy something that will transfer vinyl to P.C.?

How is this done - can someone explain (in lay-woman's terms)?

How much is the equipment?

Can you recommend a particular product?

Thank you

Yes, music, DD.


Thanks Ellpus, bit pricey though?

It's the only one (I think?)

I'll have another look see.

The thing is, if it's new technology, it WILL be quite over priced....give it six months and a few competitors on their tails, it'll be £50 or so.

Download 'em! IMO.

They won't have all those scratchy noises on them, and most (even really obscure and rare) tracks can be found on digital nowadays.

I know! Not quite the same atmospherics going on.


....maybe you can find some digital tracks that are all scratchy and jump a lot.

if you have a turntable and reciever already, alot will depend on your pc's sound card

you can connect a line out from your reciever into the line in on your pc and using mp3 encoding software like musicmatch or jet audio you can do it with some work

there's no really easy way to explain it to a non tech person

and it's really time consuming as well

When hamburger and I were discussing this last winter, you could already get the required software for about $50 Canajun.
