Does anyone know how I can copy vinyl records to CD? I checked online and they talk about pre-amplifiers and other equipment. Is there no simple way of doing it without having to go out and buy equipment that you won't use afterwards. I just want to copy some of our old vinyls onto CD.
If you own a record player and you know a guy that happens to be handy with electronics or just a guy that knows how to much around with wires.... then you can just join a few twinflex cables to the record players speakers and onto a audio input jack to plug into your AUX or Microphone port of your pc..... then use any piece of software(there are plenty of free ones out there) to record the audio and then burn those files on your pc over to a cd......
Clint might have a better way of doing it, CLINT!!!!!
yes Mike
Help the French Lady pls.....
are-you-there
Mike is correct the output from a turn table could be inputted into the aux connection on the sound card of your pc.
Merci guys ... now I'll have to see if I can get it to work ...

I saw at Incredible (dis)connection that they have a machine you plug in to dvd machine thingie and it records your old records. Don't know if it works but am thinking about getting one for my dad who has over a 1000 jazz LP's and would love to copy them to CDs. Will check it out over the weekend, if you want.
The thingy magigy sounds interesting. Let us know if it works ...!
@ Patricia saw the same thingy at incredible deception ,,, It should be cheep in dubai ??
You guys are really confusing me ... I can't find the thingy magigy that you're referring to ...
Maybe I can help.
It's actually easy to copy any media to a PC. You just need the right software and wiring.
First you need to download the software.
Go to >> http://www.audiograbber.org/download.html (http://www.audiograbber.org/download.html) and download Audiograbber 1.83 Special Edition.
It is a free download.
Install on PC.
Now the wiring.
Get a cable for the local Radio Shack or Audio store. They are cheap and easy to find.
One end must have Right/Left RCA male plugs and the other end is the same as you PC speakers.
See picture>>(Plugs)
Now connect the cable from you amplifier/record player to the PC.
See picture>>(Wiring)
Open Audio Grabber. > See picture (Logo)
In the program click on File and on the drop down, Line In Sampling. > See picture (1st Screen)
A new window will open. > See picture (Final)
Now you are ready to copy.
Remember to activate the LINE IN VOLUME on your PC.
Double click on your normal volume icon next to the clock to open the control box.
Play with all the settings and I am sure that in now time you will be copying like mad!!
Enjoy!!
I forgot to add. You will RIP the LP to your PC in MP3 format with Audio Grabber. After you done that you can model your CD with all your new music. If you need more info contact me....
