Both links working for me. Tried to make the Scan link clickable, but can't seem to get that to work in the OP. Here it is again:

The weakness is that it has a ceramic cartridge. OK for transferring old and tinny 45s but likely to disappoint if you want to recapture the great analogue sound in many classical LPs. But then you would have paid more for the cartridge then this whole thing.

Best and cheapest solution is to hook up your old turntable/amp (if you have acces to one) to your PC. Tape output to Line-In may do the trick - though i have found a surprising number of PCs will only do mono. The same great Audacity software is free to download.

Otherwise get a decent quality USB turntable with a moving magnet cartridge (about £80/100), impress your elderly friends/relatives and recoup most of your dosh by selling it on when you have transferred everything (or earn a few bob/get access to great collections by providing a service to them).

Agreed, the preamp with a decent turntable would be my first option for optimum audio fidelity, although a bit over the top if you only have a few discs to convert. However, the selling point with this rig is the ability to handle 78s, which the pricier usb turntables will not. I would have killed for something like this a few years ago while my dad was still alive as he had a small collection of obscure shellac discs which will never see the light of day on vinyl, let alone cd. Back in the day, I stuck a mike in the trumpet of a wind up gramophone and recorded to cassette tape and he seemed pleased enough with that. This would have been so much better.

Agreed - almost perfect for 78s. Unless you can find a USB turntable sporting a thorn stylus. That would sound so much better - or are you one of those aficionados who go for steel

Nope. This has a very cheap ceramic cartridges, whereas the £100 ones have much better cartridges. This is cheap, but I voted cold as I really don't think it's good enough.

Three or four years ago, when I attempted to convert my vinyl to a digital format, I had one of my turntables running through my mixer into my laptop. I was using Audacity. Gave it up quite quickly though with the mincing around with levels etc for every single record that I wanted to convert.

I would have thought that things have moved on with the software, but be warned, the entire process can be a proper faff, especially if you want to get decent quality conversions. If anyone's got any better solutions, please let me know as I pretty much gave it up as a bad lot. Now the missus is giving me a load of old wotsit about having 'all these records around', I am keen to get them digitised, with as minimal fuss as possible.
