Vinyl to CD recording?

[Dean3]

I'm sure someone must have asked this before, but I have a big vinyl record collection and would like to record them onto CD. I have an iMac (500mhz).
I think D. Smith offer a turntable with a pre-amp, so I should be able to record to to my computer then burn a CD, right?

Does anyone know what software I need, and anything else I need to know?

does the 500mhz iMac have an audio line-in port? If so you should be able to record from the line out of any audio device.

As far as software goes, Toast Titanium has a utility bundled with it called CD Spin Doctor that will do the trick. If you want FREE software, try Spark ME - that will split up the tracks with a bit of work, drag the resulting AIFF files into iTunes and burn away. (This works happily in OSX, not sure if you are using OS9)

Dylan Smith is offering a turntable with pre-amp?!?

No wonder he's not getting a game in the firsts! No commitment (except to low low prices)

does the same apply for copying cassettes to mp3?

Cassettes same deal. Line Out via RCA output on deck.

Easy to do.
