Marc, I have the same setup as you; a high end turntable, tons of vinyl (some of which was bought by my grandfather and still sounds new) and a desire to move it to disk (itunes or whatever). I asked this question at our local Apple Store. The guy said that Quicktime Pro had excellent analog to digital algorithms. I plan to an RCA plug to 3.5mm mini plug (there are actually 2 RCAs to 1 miniplug) and plug the mini into my Mac and use Quicktime Pro to convert. I can then, if I want, suck it into iTunes. Hope this helps, Bob Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.raflexions.com ________________________________ From: Marc James Small <marcsmall@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 8:41:41 PM Subject: [rollei_list] Re: VERY OT: Turntables and PC's redoux On 7/13/2009 11:29 PM, Eric Goldstein wrote: > Ok, as simple as possible: Buy a stereo RCA to stereo mini adapter > cable.

I might figure this out tomorrow!
