I've never heard a Novi, I must be missing out The only easy way to put a record onto the puter is to buy a turntable with a USB connector that is designed to do just that, turn your records into wav or MP3 files. You can hook up a stereo system to the microphone jack on a sound card and use a recorder on the puter to convert it, but it is harder that way. I'd do it for you , but my turntable needs a needle and new cartridge. The turntable to USB's are about $80, Can't even remember where I saw one.

Guys I have an old HP printer that is broken and some really useless software that I need to get rid of. Is there anybody that takes this stuff or should I just put it in the trash? ps. John, I can almost hear the soul penetrating sound of the Novi. I wish I was there. I have an old 33 1/3 Lp of race car sounds and a cd with an ERA, D Jag a Ferrari 250 GTO and a few others. I just don't know how to put them onto the 'puter, being the 'puter idiot that I am. Oh well..... Paul
