How to convert lps to CD?

The Alesis masterlink looks good, but the dealbreaker for me is that there's no hookup to a computer. Is there any device similar to a masterlink that can dump to a computer's hard drive, without having to burn a CD, or go through the line-in on the soundcard?

Is there any plan for Alesis to release a product or an adapter that can do this?

Thanks,
Todd

I purchased a Tascam CC-222MXII and love it. Makes terrific CD's from whatever source you wish, including lps. Good quality at a fair price. My lps now travel with me via CD and the compilations of music I record have become the major gift friends receive from me.

I use an Apple G4 powerbook (I'm using it at this very moment) with Roxio Toast software. It is an analog to digital converting program. Easy to usee and does the trick! RCAs from "out" of preamp to "mic" on the powerbook. Music from LP is downloaded into Roxio program. I can leave it there, or place it into iTunes (this is preferable). Then I can burn a CD. If you'd like to hear what one sounds like, clicks and pops and all, send me an email and I will get a CD to you.
