All I have done so far is digitize old tapes using the mic port and Audio Hijacks Pro. Frankly, with the quality of those tapes not much would have helped. I just wanted to be able to listen to them on the computer. However, I do have some records I would like to digitize. Will any old sound

I would never digitize vinyl with an iMic! It's inferior sound quality. Do you guy hate music or what? Cheeezh! 24 bit / 96Khz is minimum standards these days for recording and is only a few hundred dollars, less second hand. There are alternatives for PCMCIA, USB as well FireWire. Why would

Hi Chris, I have recorded my old LPs by using Griffin Technology's iMic and Audacity or Sound Studio,which permit you to filter extraneous noice and other filters. You could also use any other music program like Final Vinyl or CD Spin Doctor (this last two are free) but with less controls.
