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>

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>

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>

</blockquote></div><br><br>Steve,<br><br>As soon as both my father and I both have spare time together I'll let you know how it goes. His turntable is connected through an amplifier to speakers so I was thinking of taking a line out off the amplifier (as I have been informed the turntable will probably not generate enough by itself). I am not sure how the quality of it all will go or not but as long as it's usable I'm sure the parents won't mind.<br>
