turntable to computer - another question

Pdow, the simplest way to get some of your vinyl moved to your PC is to connect from your receiver's REC OUT/Zone 2 jacks to your PC's sound card (at the line input jack). Assuming your PC card accepts a standard 1/8" stereo plug, you'll need a "Y" cable to combine the RCA cables from the two REC OUT jacks on the back of the receiver into a single stereo plug.

The network connection on the receiver certainly allows the receiver to use your PC as another input source, but I don't know that you can use this network connection to allow your PC to access the receiver as a source for the PC.

Check out the "Ripper" by Jim Hagerman. It works very well.

For recording software, I used a program called Acoustica by a company called Acon from Germany. It's similar to Audacity (which is freeware), but I preferred its ease of use.

One thing you will need to consider is software which de-clicks your LP's. If you're very lucky and only have a few scratches then you can do it manually using the software mentioned above, if you have more than a few scratches (which was my case despite my best efforts to look after my LP's) then you should consider an automatic solution. There are a bunch of programs out there, but only two which I have found which do a 'proper' job - i.e. distinguish 'clicks' from musical transients such as drums. The programs are 'Wave Corrector' and 'Click Repair'. Worth checking out.
I used an M-Audio 2496 recorded to WAV at 24bits 96KHz, then encoded to APE lossless.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck

Any other good ways to go from vinyl to the computer? I was going to use a M-Audio 2496, but found out my G5 Mac is one of only a couple of newer Macs that it won't work with. Someone (who sells them) recommended an Art USB Phono 2. Any other options I should be looking at?
