BazzaAlpine Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 What type of audio out does your record player have? If it has phono out (think thats the name. usually looks like round connectors red and white next to each other). You can get a cable that converts that to a 3.5 mm jack that will go into your PCs microphone / line in connector. You can then use a peice of software that will record the album and seperate the tracks. My uncle uses it for converting his tapes to CD. I'll try and find out the name of the software he uses for you tomorrow if nother better (or cheaper) crops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Its easy if youve got a USB turntable but its pricey to buy one for just one album, Im sure a member can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
