If you have a good sound card in your pc, a turntable and amp, then just plug the AUX of the amp into your pc and record to a wav file.
Or 2: buy a ($40) usb device that goes from amp to usb of the pc. This comes with software to separate the album into individual songs.
or 3: Buy a ($100) usb turntable. This too comes with the software.
With all these, you usually do the album as a track, then use the software to break it into songs.
Make sure you wash and treat the LP first to knock down static to get the best possible conversion.
And my last thought is... you can download the songs for free (imo) since you've already bought them.

The easist way is to buy the usb turntable or there is a turntable/cdr combo. I think it was at Sharper Image. About $300.
I did as someone suggested and used the AUX out from my reciever but had to make by own cable to connect to the PC. Reciever has RCA jacks the PC has sub miniature.
For those who wonder why not just get digital copies, try finding albums by The Electric Prunes. ( A couple of them are available now ) but not b2 years ago

basically, just a screwdriver.
Remove the hard drive from the computer and put the drive on a flat surface. Put the record albums on the hard drive. Done!

all you need is Windows Media Player and you can rip an album from CD to Computer
