Record Player Is there any way to connect a record player to my computer?
I have an old record player that has no outputs other than the plug. Is there anything I can hook up to connect it to my computer? Is there something that can splice the speaker cables and connect it to my microphone on my PC? Or is there some sort of special needle I can buy that has a microphone output? Somebody Help!!!
thinkgeek.com has a usb turntable that will enable you to play vinyl & store it in digital format. It's about $100 I think.
They also have, for $50, a ripper with input audio jacks, but you don't have output cables. Go with the turntable.
