Yep, that's the basic way to go (and no, she can't damage anything that way!) A turntable hooked up to a stereo receiver or pre-amp -- the tape outputs from the receiver/pre-amp to the sound card's line input. A laptop computer is an especially easy way to go for this. You'd just need to get a dual-RCA-to-stereo-mini-phone-plug cable/adapter from Radio Shack for about $8. For better quality A/D conversion, I use a device made by M-Audio called the Transit USB, which goes between the receiver/pre-amp and the computer but connects to the computer's USB port. It costs just $79.00 and it's a really nifty gizmo! -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
