convert a record into MP3s?

you need an audio imput into your machine, and some sort of recording program.

get a cable that can run from your stereo into your comp. cheap audio cable. then you need to find a program that can "record" that. i used to used Soundjam and it ruled, but then it went out of business, and never updated to OSX.

i've had limited success with Audacity. got that off of http://www.versionstracker.com... i haven't looked or tried that for a while.

hrmm... i dont know, im thinking that you will just need the adapter for the rca jacks.

I am not positive on that one though.

RCA adapter will work for older equipment, or at least it did in my case.
