Has anyone used software/equipment that allow you to record LP's, tapes from your stereo system to your PC?

Answer 1

There a cables you can buy that can connect your Stereo/LP to your computer.

You'll need an Audio card with a "Line In/Mic" inputs. From there you can get software which will allow you to record the sounds.

Answer 2

To record from a stereo LP or a 45 record onto your computer you'll need the folowing:

Purchase a (RCA "Y" adaptor) which is a cord with a plug on one end that plugs into your speaker input on the front or back of your computer. On the other end are 2 jacks that plug into your left and right stereo output jacks.

POLDERBITS -- computer recording software.
Internet Site: http://www.polderbits.com

After polderbits is installed, click on the sound recorder icon to start the program.

Choose "Line in" under the "Sound Source" drop-down menu. Just click record when you tape or
record is cued up. THAT"S IT!

P.S. I'll let you in on a little secret, I used this program to record songs from online music stations.

I just choose the "WAVE-OUT" selection under the Sound Source" drop-down menu.

But don't tell anyone!

Answer 3

Sure - I do it all the time with Roxio "Toast with Jam" (sounds dumb but it's a good program). Patch cords from the stereo to the PC's audio inputs; you can record the tune and then repair scratches and so on with the software.

Answer 4

Yep

Answer 5

All you need to do is run a patch cord from your stereo to your audio inputs on your sound card. You can use Audacity to record it
