I have a pc computer with Windows XP. Any suggestions on the easiest
way to convert vinyl 33 1/3 records to CD's ? I've seen advertised a
USB Turntable made by ION that can be used, but I do not know if this
is the best way, or if there are other methods.

all opinions, info, etc. welcomed!


Okay, you posted the question to a Macintosh applications group, so I'm
going to respond from the Mac side of the house.

I have one of these turntables and it works great. I just plugged it in
and, after setting my Sound System Prefs to get audio input via USB
rather than the iSight, I was able to bring in a number of LPs. I've
used both their recommendation, Audacity, and GarageBand. I'm sure
there are other apps that will do the job as well.

I, on the other hand, bought my new computer a toy when I first got it,
a little black(and gray) box called Audiophile that feeds into my
Firewire port, ran a looooooooong patch cord to my stereo, and converted
many many LPs and cassettes via Audacity to .mp3 files and can now carry
over 10 days' music around in my pocket via iPod. Very neat toy.
