Jared,<div><br></div><div>will that work? I had to connect my very old B&O turntable to the hifi via a pre-amp. I assumed I would also need a pre-amp to connect to my laptop. Did try connecting thru the pre-amp and using LPripper, but seemed not to be getting proper audio through.</div> <div><br></div><div>Also, the B&O has a DIN connector. But I guess I could use an adaptor.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, another way to get those old vinyl tracks is to rip them from Youtube. ;)<br><br><div id="WISESTAMP_SIG"> <span style="color:black;"><p><a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/st3v3th0ma5">Steve Thomas</a><br><a href="http://ubuntu.com"> Ubuntu</a> Advocate & Social Networker</p><span style="color: gray">My profiles: </span> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/spotrick"><img alt="Facebook" style="padding: 0px 3px 5px 0px; vertical-align: middle;" border="0" src="http://images.wisestamp.com/facebook.png"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spotrick/"><img alt="Flickr" style="padding: 0px 3px 5px 0px; vertical-align: middle;" border="0" src="http://images.wisestamp.com/flickr.png"></a><a href="http://twitter.com/spotrick"><img alt="Twitter" style="padding: 0px 3px 5px 0px; vertical-align: middle;" border="0" src="http://images.wisestamp.com/twitter.png"></a><br> <div style="border-top: 1px solid #eeeeee; margin-top: 8px; padding-top: 2px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 70%">Signature powered by <a style="color: #555555; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.wisestamp.com/email-install">WiseStamp</a> </div> </span></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 24, 2010 at 6:08 PM, Jared Norris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jrnorris@gmail.com">jrnorris@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On 24 April 2010 18:20, Ferdinand Lehnard <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ferdinand.lehnard@web.de" target="_blank">ferdinand.lehnard@web.de</a>></span> wrote:<br> </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex"><div><div></div><div class="h5"> <div> Hi mates,<br> <br> I just would like to inform you that ALDI (NSW) had last week a USB turntable (record player) in their shops which is usable to copy your old records onto CD. The most surprising stuff was that the software package delivered was Audacity. Seeing this I thought, that could be something for my UBUNTU machine and just bought it even it was no mentioning of LINUX on the package.<br> <br> Today I tried it and worked out of the box, I was not even forced to load the Installation CD. All you need is AUDACITY. I am using still UBUNTU 8.04 just for your info.<br> <br> Greetings<br> Ferdinand<br> <br> <br> </div> <br></div></div>--<br> ubuntu-au mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br><br><br>Ferdinand,<br> <br> How did you find the device itself? My parents recently bought a device similar to that from the catchoftheday (I realise you can get high quality ones for hundreds of dollars, this one was 60 - 80 ish from memory). Unfortunately the device skipped across the records so badly they threw it out after ruining one of their records. Upon seeing it had installed audacity I advised them it would be cheaper to purchase an RCA to 3.5mm Stereo lead and just play it using the high quality record player they already own using the lead to the line in on their onboard sound card. They haven't had a chance to try this yet but I was curious to see what your experience was like.<br> <br clear="all">Regards,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Jared Norris<br> </font><br>--<br> ubuntu-au mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br></div>
