Thanks for all the input. My plan was to just use the headphone jack on my receiver which the turntable is connected too using the phono inputs. This will give me my line level signal out. My powerbook has an 1/8" audio in jack to get the tracks into my computer. With that, I have no problem getting my vinyl into my mac and editing (garageband right now) what I need for each track and even putting them into my itunes, ipod, cds, etc.

right???

I am just looking for a cheap, if not free, audio editing program download somewhere that has an automatic "declick" or "depop" for vinyl filter. I do fear that it may add a lot of "color" to the sound that will make it sound maybe worse especially if the program is free or cheap... you get what you pay for. But if a quick filter helps, then I am in.

I actually haven't had time to start this project yet but I do know that when my vinyl is playing om my player, there is a lot of noise. I am going to review the "cleaning vinyl" threads again making sure all my vinyl is as clean as it can be before I start recording into my mac. Thanks for that tip on the cleaner IZ! Looks pretty cool.

I will keep ya posted

Mahalo!
