Here's the scoop -
I currently have over 600 long playing albums and over 100 cassette tapes plus cds.
I would like to load the lp's and cassette tapes to a music library on my system however the only plug ins on my Sanyo stereo are for a cd player.
What do I need incorporated to my turntable,cassette or tuner to perform the above?
Thanx

even onboard soundcards have a Line-in port.

use a Cinch-to-jack converter for the tape deck, and get a seperate pre-amplifier for the turntable, as the headphones outlet doesn't have the flat frequency curve the speaker outlets have

Rcord from the line-in, cut the silence at the beginning and end and convert it into the format you want (preferably .OGG as the encoder and decoder are free)

I've never actually copied music from a turntable, but I do have a cassette deck which I use.

I ran an audio cable from the output on the cassette deck to the line-in jack on the computer's soundcard. Loaded my audio editor and recorded the music. I then edited it, and burned to CDs. Once it was completed, it sounded like a professional CD.

I use Roxio EZ CD Creator 5 because it has software that cleans of distortion noise from the records. You can use other programs. You'll ned a Y-cable that turns the standard computer sound jack into the Red and Yellow RCA plugs that your stereo uses.

Makesure your record player is connected to the phono jack and is grounded. Connect the Y-cable to your stereo's out port and into your computer's Line-in port and record away.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Forgot about that cable.

You can easily pick one up at your local radio shack

Many thanks for all the suggestions folks.
Armed with all this info I am going to head out for Radio $hack this week and run it by them.
As my stereo system is rather ancient I thought about purchasing a new one but I e-mailed Sanyo to see what they suggest.
Just waiting for their response.
Thanks again for all the details............. Wink
