you just need a stereo audio editor capable of recording from the
selected input on your mac (which would be line in from the
turntable). You record each track (or one long track of however many
songs are on each side of the vinyl and seperate them later) and then
save the files as AIFF and then add them to iTunes and burn to CD.
Toast 6 has a bonus app called CD Spin Doctor included which will do
fine and you can burn the audio directly without using iTunes. If you
don't have Toast use a free audio editor like Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and iTunes.
Try to avoid going from recorded file from audacity to iTunes it will
kill your file in sound quality. Also output as WAV not AIFF for some
unknown reason in Audacity it sounds a whole lot better, even if you
import into iTunes.
Mostly you need lots of time and patience but you can have fun
listening to all your old vinyl while you do it!

into your PC with a sound card (with a $6 adapter) and use it, with
suitable software, to convert your 33s or 45s to CDs.
-- I have a 450 MHz iMac (with UBS & firewire ports). Can anyone tell
me what I would need apart from the turntable to convert my old 33s
to CDs? I'm running 9.1. TIA.
