Should be a relatively simple matter of taking the output from the
turntable to and patching it to the aux. input on a sound card. You
have to be careful to match the impedance correctly, (not that I think
you could actually damage anything), the kid in question was using a
relatively high end direct drive turntable and he needed a preamp.
Where you live I expect finding shops with actual vinyl is difficult. I
live 20 minutes from a city with an Ivy league University, a couple of
the local record shops actually have newly pressed vinyl.

But they have, the vinyl records at least. A younger acquaintance
wanted my advice on how to hook up a turntable to a computer so he
could listen to his fathers Sinatra collection on his MP3 player.
(Most of the local young artistic types around here worship B&W film,
but that's not really a re-discovery).
I want to do the same thing so I can bump my old Humphry and the
Dumptruck albums over to CD.
When enough of them have made the rediscovery, then we might see a few
record shops opening up in the malls again.
I was talking to a young lady at the store yesterday who is doing all
her black and white work on "real black and white film" (her words).
It's heartening, but a few enthusiasts do not keep an industry afloat.
