You could try Audio Hijack Pro, its shareware but �16 to purchase ($30). It will let you record an sound from line in, or another application to MP3 format. It also comes with a lot of DSP effects. Some might reduce crackle. You could download it and have a play around, then purchase it if you like it.

First off - the vinyl bit isnt necessary. You just want software that can
record sound in. (I presume you have sound in).
If you do a search at <http://www.versionttracker.com> for 'Sound' you will
get an idea of what is out there.
Felt Tip Sound Studio is one such.
But if you have Toast you also have Spin Doctor which as well as being able
to record sound in, can easily allow it to be separated into tracks and if
you want you can apply crackle and hiss filters etc. These filters have a
cost just as dust and scratches filters do in graphic applications.
Sometimes the clarity with crackle is better than a muffle in my opinion.


If anyone does know a good way to clean up sound hiss and crackle I would
like to know about it. Spin Doctor is quick and dirty but more dirty than
I'd like. I generally think its better to buy a new CD if its still on sale.


The mp3 part is easier to do with iTunes or even QuickTime - unless you
prefer a 3rd party mp3 encoder.

hope this helps

Brian

Can anyone suggest a good OSX native application for recording from
vinyl to MP3?
