Default Vinyl to CD on a PC
wrote:
Hi,

My middle-aged PC (Athlon 700 / 256Mb / 30 Gig) has no sound card and
I want to buy one. I also want to transfer some of my favourite vinyl
to CD. Can I do this with a basic soundcard + software or would I do
better to buy a more advanced soundcard maybe with its associated
software?

Thanks for any info.

John Smith.

Any ordinary sound card will do. The card will come with software or you can
download freeware to record, such as Goldwave or Audiograbber.

Your machine could already have a sound card, or one could be built into the
main board, just disabled via a jumper and/or in the machine BIOS.

Most machines of this vintage would have come with some sort of sound card,
unless you built it yourself or pulled the old card for some reason.
