you need to connect your turntable to your sound card. Make sure the
connection is NOT going through a pre-amp or you will blow out your
sound card. (personal experience). Start recording on the box, and then
start the turntable. There is a lot of audio editing software out there.
You'll then create .wav files. If you want just normal audio CDs, you
can then use something like XCDRoast and just burn them. .wav is raw
audio. They need to be between 128 and 192 kbps or they will sound
weird.

Subject: [SLUG] vinyl conversions
I'm a newbie and don't get much time to become much more so I've created
a task, the completion of which through linux should teach me some
things along the way. Now I have to learn now.
I have a bunch of old LPs. And a turntable. Really. And an extra desktop
running Mandrake. I also have a spare CD burner that I've never
connected to the linux box. You see where I'm going. Anyone have any
suggestions on how best I can convert my LPs to mp3s (or other)? I'll
eventually have to create a step-by-step for myself because I'll have to
do this once in a while and for a long while (I have about 400 LPs). I
am a blank slate.
