    You will need a turntable, or similar stereo / record player that has RCA-type outputs or a headphone jack. A patch cable can be purchased that will connect via the RCA-type outputs/headphones to your computer via the soundcard.

    A soundcard with a Line-In input is best, but the microphone input can also be used.

    Finally, you will need software that can copy the music to a compatible file format, usually .wav and filter the clicks, pop, hiss and rumble from the vinyl record.

    And then, you will need a software codex to encode the .wav file to .mp3 or other format.

    Clear as mud?

    Copying software is available thru Coyote Electronics and their Groove Mechanic application, http://www.coyotes.bc.ca/ Encoding can be done with LAME: http://www.mp3-converter.com/encoders/lame_encoder.htm
