Rip LP's to Digital

Hello all ! I'm considering recording my LP's to my PC so that I can listen to them on either CD or iPod.

I've read about 2 programs a lot of people seem to like, namely "Vinyl Studio" and "Izotop" for completing the task but I'm unsure about the hardware.

I have a Dell E520 with Win XP and 2GB of RAM I'd like to use for the project although I could use my Macbook with an external HD if need be.

Most of the other posts I've read here are older so has anyone done this recently and without spending thousands of $ on hardware ??

Thanks,
Brian

I am not prepared to enter the debate as to approaches to A to D conversion, I have played with a A to D converter with software and found it to be easy to do however don’t know what might be best in that approach. I think i might be interested in the hardware approach as mentioned by ZD.

No need to apologize for your system, I believe it represents a very well thought out budget high end system from the early 80’s. Given that you are going to do the work yourself I would think your servicing would provide a quality sonic return on your investment in time and $.

Enjoy!

Buconero, after trying LP conversion the used CD approach is what i have taken. Download a used CD copy on my computer used the CD in my car, or better yet, make playlists and burn them for my car. Far less time consuming.
