You can get a simple box to do it, but a receiver is what most use and you must use the "Line out" not a speaker out. The speaker out will kill the computer. Swank's absolutely right. Your best bet is to get an independent Audio/Digital (A/D) converter. Radio Shack has a great turtable with a built in pre-amp for a $100.00. The best buy, for a consumer level turntable today. Good Luck Unga
