Convert Turntable Records to MP3?
I want to convert some of my old choice LPs to MP3's, and thence to
CD/DVD disk. I have a working turntable with what looks to be RCA output. I have removed it from my Home Theater setup, and, so, I now do not have a receiver or amp for the turntable. It appears that I cannot simply connect this turntable directly to my computer's sound inputs. That comports with what I read, but I have also read that I should be able to connect to the computer's mic audio connection. Alas, that does not work for me, but then, the RCA connector does not match up with the computer's audio connection anyway. Has anyone actually done what I want to do? Is there an adapter that will enable the RCA's to connect to the computer's audio? Will some sort of a cheap pre-amp do the job? Or do I have to either use a receiver or amplifier? I should add that logistically, I cannot connect my home theater receiver to my computer. Duke |

Luck; Ken I don't know why I didn't come up with site http://www.pcworld.com/article/11781...r_records.html when I googled turntable preamp, but anyway, a quick read of the PC World article pretty much tells me what I need to do. Thanks Duke |

Alternatively, you can buy USB turntables! |
