Hi Everyone,

I hope that the link below works, usually whenever I try links they become
disjointed.

My question is this. I want to put my records onto my computer then
transfer them onto CD's as a backup.

I don't want to go to the expense of purchasing a USB Record Deck so I was
thinking that one of the following items may do the job.

If you've got a normal sound card or intgrated audio on your computer (as
almost all do these days) and you have a record player and amplifier that
you can play your records on, then all the hardware you need is a phono to
3.5mm stero jack lead.

Connect the signal from the "tape out" sockets on your amp to the "line in"
socket on your computer via this lead and you are away. You will need some
software, Audacity does the job, and it's free.

David.
