LP Rat,

With a trip to radio shack with a list of two or three
connectors and wire you could do it yourself.

Your PC is already equipped.
You have a soundcard in that PC. You can see it where the
speakers plug into the back of your box. Usually next to
that jack is one for a microphone and one that says LINE IN.

LINE IN is where you want to plug your source music into.

What you would do is take your turntable and sit it on your
desk or somewhere close to your PC. Then use the wires that
normally would travel from your turntable to your Stereo
System amp/tuner or whatever it is. Those probably have RCA
jacks on the end of them. Now all you need from radio shack
is an adapter that allows you to plug in the left and right
RCA jack. Then this adapter would plug into the back of your
PC.

Of course if you wanted to get fancy and leave your stereo
components where they are you could get a few long RCA cables.

As I type this out I somehow recall possibly having this
conversation once before but don't remember if there was some
reason why it could not be done.

Anyhow I spent too much time pressing keys to just erase it
all.

If you want, here are the parts:

RCA extension cable:
lastar.net
(You might not need this if your existing cables are long enough to reach.)

RCA adapter plug:
ramelectronics.net
(This plugs into the back of your PC.)

Another option would be for you to plug the wires that feed
your tape deck on the input side and simply (temporarily) use
your PC as the tape deck... This way the signal will most
likely be pre-amped.

Actually after a quick look, this thread gives good
instructions and software suggestions:

answers.google.com
(I should have done that google search before all this typing.)

:oP
