Can a cord be used that connects to the microphone jack of your computer? Would that make it pick up the sound? I've been wanting to do this myself but don't feel like buying an expensive USB turn table for the purpose. I know that I have a cord somewhere that has 3 plugs on one end which are all color coded and then the other end has one connector. I remember using it to get my stereo speakers to be the output for my DVD player. I don't know if this makes sense because I'm not really sure how to explain it, but I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
