While I haven't played around with this, most USB turntables will not
hook up to your line in/out jacks. The turntable will just connect via
USB and have a built-in analog to digital converter. So it should just
show up as a generic audio input device which you can record from using
your favorite app. You could even do it with plain old quicktime if you
so desired. the more tricky stuff is splitting up the recorded audio
into tracks along with any post-processing for scratches and such. Then
you also have to name each track and add all the other meta data like
album name, artist, release date etc. In the end you have to consider if
all that is worth your time. Unless you have some rare or special stuff
it might be money better spent in iTunes getting pristine copies of your
favorite tracks or even buying the CD versions and importing them. If
you still want to go forward I'd check into the turntables offered by
Sweetwater, Guitar Center, B&H and the like. Seems to start at about
$100 for a basic one and goes up to about $800 for a super deluxe model.

I think I have the jist of it, needing to hook it into the line in/out
jacks, which I'm not 100% sure which ones are where, and could use some tips on
the conversion process, considering the fact that I've never really played
around much with audacity much, sense the few times I've tried, I couldn't make
heads or tails of it, so gave up on it, so would love some pointers. Whatever
info someone could give me here would really be appreciated.
