audio transfer

Depends on your audio equipment.

I have an turntable and amp. With a cable to connect the amp line out into the computers line in jack I can record from the vinyl into wav or mp3 files.

I even have jacks to connect to my VCR for recording fromthe TV.

You can use a recording microphone but all you will get will be mono recordings.

The quality of your transcriptions is directly dependant on the quality of your turntable, cartridge, phono pre-amp, and sound card.

Here are some links to help you get started:

http://www.sound-recorder.com/index.htmlhttp://www.highcriteria.com/

The links include tutorials, hardware recommendations, and software to 'clean' up the sound from the records.

While I would like to use one of the recommended A/D cards from enhancedaudio, I opted for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz after reading the sound card reviews from PCAVtech.

I strongly recommend against trying to record using any style of on-board sound.
