[DM-MUG] Convertint LP and audio tapes

[Ray Bowler]

Darcy and CW--

Thanks for your info.

I have a stereo with a turntable, a tape player and a CD player so 
that part is fine.  Audacity looks good for what I want. The Griffin 
iMic looks like it should work. The M-Audio is way out of my prize--I 
will have to stretch for the iMic.

Have a good Christmas.
