An introduction to computer audio
Vinyl ripping
Want to digitize your vinyl collection?
Today there are a couple of options:
Standalone systems
They record albums directly to CD (or iPod or flash memory, depending on the system). This is the easiest way to digitize your LP's and 45's. It's also the crudest.
Digital turntables
They have a AD converter on board. Output is mostly USB but some offer SPDIF.
You need recording software on the PC.
Analogue Turntables
These are the traditional ones.
You need a phono stage to bring the signal to line level, an AD converter and recording software. This setup allows you to choose each individual component.
A excellent and extensive overview can be found at Knowzy
