TSGL: Digital recordings on PC

[Tilman Brandl]

Ron,

while INPORT looks nice, I'm not sure whether it's exactly what I need. The 
price isn't that high, they have it for <80 $ on their website. Maybe I 
could use it to one day convert my LP records to digital.

But it could also help me with my #1 task: Converting old MONO (think I 
haven't mentioned this) analog recordings from tape to digital. I guess I 
could get a mono-to-stereo-adapter for this?

This triggers still another question <g> - audio-quality-wise, is there any 
difference between connecting through my laptop's USB or the standard audio 
jacks? (these both are my options, as far as I can see).

Thanks
Tilman

  I realize you're looking for a very inexpensive solution. However, I
  purchased an XITEL INPORT a few years ago and it works extremely well.
  Essentially it take two RCA feeds (left & right stereo channels) and
  converts the stereo signal to USB. The supplied software is not as 
elaborate
  or as versatile as Audacity, but it does an excellent job of saving the
  incoming signal to a file and then gleaning the individual tracks from the
  master file.

  If you're willing to spend a little bit more money, approximately $100, I
  strongly recommend this.
