Can I connect my hi-fi turntable to my G4 iMac and record the records easily? What software might I need? Thanks!

I cant remember does the G4 have a mic input I seem to think not as I used to use a Griffin iMic. You can plug the record deck straight into the mic or iMic socket with suitable leads and obtain perfectly acceptable results. Purists will be alarmed at this as you are supposed to have a pre-amp to compensate for something or other however lots of record decks have them built in. I got one for about £20 from a Sony centre shop. You can pay a great deal more. You can use the line out from the amplifier into the mic input but be sure to start with all inputs and outputs turned down low and adjust levels to suit. As for software you probably already have CD spin doctor (comes with Toast) or I have had great results from Audio Hijack (free demo) recording time limited to 30 mins per session. I would think that Quicktime with a pro serial would give you the option of audio recording. Any high end audio program (Bias Peak) comes to mind, will do what you want.
        You can then use iTunes to convert to MP3, M4a if you should so wish.
