what do I need to record my old analog records,albums,vinyl,l.p.'s,etc...?
I want to transfer my music (vinyl) to my computer's media library using my turntable and stereo system.Can it be done?Do I need special software, or cables to connect to my laptop or desk top to my stereo system.
I answered this once before answering about cassette tape, same for stereo if you have a turntable with usb output or an amp to feed the PC:
You don't really need to buy anything to transfer your (audio) tapes to digital on your PC.
You need a tape player, I assume you are using cassette tapes. I use a decent "boom box" (Sony am/fm/cd/tape player) connected to the sound input on my PC.
You need to download a program to record on your PC. I use Audacity (free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download...
Then it is simply a matter of playing the tape and recording it on your PC. You can then go in and mark the beginning/end of tracks and if you add-in the mp3 (lame encoder), it will create mp3 files for you.
Yes, it's a little work, but reasonable to do. And, since the software is free, it's just your time you invest in the project.
