There's a program called DART CD-Recorder 4.1 that let's you do it and removes the clicks and pops. I've never used it, I'm just aware that it exists. I think you can download a trial version from their website, do a search for it on google. You can probably find a crack for the program by doing a search at http://astalavista.box.sk

You record the incoming audio signal from the line in on your soundcard as a wav file using whatever software will allow you to do so. Once it's recorded as a wav file, then you can encode it into an mp3.

I use Cakewalk to record the incoming audio, then save it as a wav file, edit it in SoundForge, then encode it using Audio Catalyst.

Can you use a studio recorder to burn it onto disc then use software like Music Match to recrd it as an MP3?

Just asking because thats what I came up with. Not sure if it'll work but it was an idea.

does the turntable have to be decent, or can i go pick up the cheapest belt-driven turntable i find?....i mean, im not spinning...just playing the record....

riiiping vinyl is sooo easy, I can't believe people have such a hard time doing it.

Just plug in your turntable and mixer like normal, then take your master out cord and plug it into your "line in" to your computer soundcard. Make sure you get the correct adapter for the line in.

Now, turn on your recording software. It could be anything like Soundforge/Acid Pro or Cool Edit or anything like that. Press the record button, and a "pre-record" screen will pop up. When playing your record, that screen will show if your are getting a signal through your soundcard. The VU-Meter will be going up and down, and if checked off, sound will be coming through your computer speakers. If all that is happening, tahat means everything is working and you are ready to record. I usually adjust the levels on my mixer to go full blast b/c you lose volume when you go from analog to digital.

After you do all that, and make sure everything is working, re-set up your record to the beginning, and hit record from the pre-record screen, and you are set.

I hope that helps. Let me know if it didnt.

Also, the turntable doesnt matter. Just ask your friend to borrow his. Also, dont forget the signal must go through your mixer first.
