Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC

Try to look after Korg rm-1000. It is a 2xdsd hard disk recorder, with analog output and with option to shift recorded sound material with pc to other hard disk(s). Fairly identical record. Only problem, that its 40 gig hd contains max 6 hours 2xdsd material, but you can always make compilation of music from the background hds. So half computerbased, but fairly cheap (1000 usd around) and easy to use.

I thought I would do this but found it tried my patience more than I was prepared for, however I did do some research and found these-

and
a Griffin iMic - the product web page for which doesn't seem to want to play.

I bought the iMic for about $15 on ebay to experiment with and decided it was more trouble than justified the proper kit.
Software is bundled with the imic or you can download various utilities - search for lp ripper or lp ripping in google.

Your phono stage output should connect directly, using the supplied phono to minijack adapter in the case of the imic, but if you want to monitor /listen via the main system while ripping, Swampwalker's suggestion of using the tape out will work too.

For the outlay, I was happy with the quality of the transfer I did (yep, just the one!), it was the splitting of tracks and titling/tagging them that I found unacceptable.
Good luck

I use an M-Audio Audiophile Firewire with my MAC for two way data stream. The USB model can be found used on Ebay for around $100. I just compared the Monarchy NM24 DAC to the M-Audio, and while the Monarchy had more hyper-detail, I enjoyed music through the M-Audio device better.

For the money, I think you would be very happy.

Lots of interesting responses which I will research.
I use Roxio Toast software with my MAC laptop (lossless).
The sound is very good, but like others, very time consuming in that the entire LP must be played. So unless you REALLY want it digitized, forget it and enjoy the vinyl.
One irritating aspect of this program is that it does not seperate the tracks. The option exists, but the sensitivity is so high that every low passage is seperated and the music is broken up- ahhh! So, track one is all of side one, etc.
Therefore, it may be time to look at other options.
Let us know what you decide.

Thanks alot guys! Ill check these out.
