There is a Freeware program, Audacity, which
allows you to hook up a turntable to your
computer. You will probably need an audio
Y-Cable, 3.5mm stereo male to two dual RCA
male. Radio Shack 42-494 works like a champ.
Audacity allows you to play vinyl at any speed --
you can play 78's at 33 1/3 RPM and get the
software to adjust for the proper output speed.
I own a LOT of vinyl, but most is either LP or 45
RPM. I do have a couple of 78's. But, what the
hey, I also own a lot of VHS tapes ... and a couple of VHS players.
