I managed to import my old vinyl by connecting the output from the record deck directly to the input of my sound card. Naturally you have to set your mixer to accept input from the correct input device, and to unmute it. As for software there is a package called 'Gramofile' available in the Contrib directory on any Mandrake mirror. http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/gramofile/ It is a command line application, and contains scratch and rumble filters to 'spruce up' that worn old vinyl. I found it necessary to change the default settings to ensure gramofile would distinguish the beginning and ending of tracks correctly. Naturally I saved my imported tracks as ogg files instead of mp3 for reasons of quality and 'freedom'. HTH derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
