Roxio use to have a program on their site called Final Vinyl that allowed
you to hook up a turn table directly to your Mac and it would do just what
you want.
Final Vinyl is a Griffin free software for its iMic. You can download it from <http://www.griffintechnology.com> or through VersionTracker.
I have been using Final Vinyl for a little bit to import cassettes and LPs. While it is not as fast as ripping a CD it does work acceptably. It will ONLY work with the Griffin iMic adapter.
Here is a quick rundown of the process I use, there are many variations:
Record the LP to an aaif file in real time. There are no 48x record players : ) .
Manually go through and mark "Cue" marks for where the tracks stop and start
Save with cue marks. This sets up individual tracks.
Import the aaif into itunes
Manually enter Artist name, Track name, Genre
At this point you can be done, but the files are still large. Both sides of an LP will be about 500-600 meg in size.
I then convert the file in itunes to an mp3, but keep the original aaif to burn on cds when I get a chance.
Not as easy as these young whippersnappers have it whith their cds, but still doable.
