copy LP's to CD's

The turntable's right & left speakers hook into the microphone input(s) on your sound card. You should be able to find this adapter at Radio Shack or any electronics / full computer supply store.

You will also need software intalled on your computer -- see this previous link:

If you wish to make "quality" recordings, you need a instrument level A/D converter card to convert the analog signal from your LP to the Wave file for the CD.

The quality of the A/D converter is part of why the component level home audio CD Recorders are so much more expensive than the CD-RW drives for PCs.

I would go directly from either the phono preamp outputs, or the tape out jacks on the stereo to the inputs of the A/D card.
Do not use speaker level outputs.

You also want a software package that allows you to edit out any clicks from scratches, and any background noise.

Remove any spaces from the paster links.

The better the cartridge, turntable, pre-amp, and A/D card, the better the results.

Enjoy,

You can use Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge to edit
the file to remove any stray noise.
