Bill,
I know one person with the Sony W500, and he has had lockup problems. I
noticed on Amazon some others had as well. You might want to skim the Amazon
reviews.
Personally, after trying lots of configurations for transferring vinyl and
old cassettes, we settled on this configuration.
We hook a turntable and cassette player directly to the inputs on this dak
audio mixer. Approx: $70

The output goes directly to our computer. We use Windows XP with the
following applications:

What used to take a long time usually takes no time at all with this $34.95
app. I can't recommend it highly enough. It finds the beginning and end of
all tracks, previews them for you, lets you easily adjust them, add noise
reduction and various processing, and can save the result as wavs or mp3s.
Once digitized this program is usually all we need. If you need more (like a
record skips or you really need to play with digitial signal processing to
make it sound good we use Adobe Audition or the free open source application
called Audacity. There is also a nice simple looking app that comes with the
dak mixer, but I haven't played with it much as I know these latter two apps
already.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gary
