Recording Vinyl

[el Chi]

Just wondering if anyone knew whether it was possible to hook up a record payer to a PC and record the tracks from it to some kind of file - preferably mp3? Do I need special leads/programs? Presumably I'd have to link the PC up to the amp? Or do you think it'd be possible to avoid that (my amp's ooollld)?
Any help would be very appreciated, cheers!

This music/studio place i used to work had did this sort of, it was some kind of special player thing though, they could take vynl and burn the tracks on to the cd... I don't know the name of the record player thing though, but it is possible

yeah, just record the full album onto the computer though an amp, and just splice it into seperate files with audio editing tools. been quite some time since ive did it, like 4-5 years, so im guessing it should be easier by now

Yeah but what kind of leads do you need from amp to PC? And is it possible to bypass the amp at all cause mine's old.
Cheers for the help so far by the way

It is possible to bypass the amp methinks, just plug the compy into the Record play using Phono/3.5 leads
