1) Either use a "record player" with a ceramic cartridge, as I do (NOT
recommended for LP's...!)...and redirect the cartridge output into the
"Line In" jack(s) of your computer sound card...OR...use the "Line Out"
jack(s) of whatever you have your high-class magnetic-cartridge turntable
plugged into. Most audio applications can take this input signal and
save it as a .wav file (in many cases, other formats as well...!)
