An "addendum" to my own post... It just occured to me that another simple
method of transferring your vinyl to PC in preparation for burning a CD is
to use a great software utility called Total Recorder... TR has the ability
to "capture" any sound that your PC is capable of reproducing through its
speaker (including internet streaming audio).. So following my
recommendations below you can capture the song coming from the turntable as
it's being played via the mixer into your pc soundcard... TR can save each
cut from the record onto the PC's hard drive then Clean 3.0 can finish the
job...
