Vinal Recordings.

[Jack]

I don't want to sound stupid but, I was told that I could
record my old vinal records from my phonograph to my
computer. Is this so? How is it done.

Hi Jack,

Sure, if you have a sound card that supports an input device like that.

You'll need a 2 male RCA to 1 male mini stereo adapter like this:

You just plug the 2 RCA plugs into your hi-fi/turntable output and stick the
mini stereo plug into the audio input slot of your sound card.

Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition makes it easy to copy your records,
tapes or other analog audio onto your computer. Go here for more details:

melt the disk and recast it as a cd and play it in your

dvd drive

Turntable plugged into an a pre-amplifier with the appropriate
equalization, then into your line-in jack of your sound card.
A Wavetable recorder (Cool Edit) to capture/cleanup the data.
Finally, an appropriate codec to save to your desired format.
Select the preferred data sample rate of 128 bits for .Wma
and .Mp3. When recording, be sure that you do not allow
peaks over -1.0 db, as recording will suffer from "Clipping".
Most vinyl recordings that are digitized will lack some Low
range response and may require a "Slight" boost at 50-100 HZ.

(Each completed/saved song will be ~5.0 Megabytes)

Not a stupid question at all, just a stupid answer from "h" - use Google
instead. I put in the search term "vinyl lp to computer" and got lots
of links all about how to do this. Check it out.
