Phono preamp and saving files

[asby1950]

I have two questions I would like to know before making a commitment to purchasing software. I’m thinking of purchasing Spin-It-Again but would like to know what phono preamps are compatible with the software. I want to connect my turntable directly to my computer via the phono preamp. Also is it possible to save the music files to my hard drive rather than a CD?

Hi,

Yes, in fact some kind of preamp is required or the audio would be too quiet. Some receivers and turntables have preamps built into them. If the output is marked "phono," you probably need a preamp.

And yes, you can create MP3, wav, WMA or Ogg Vorbis files.
