I also just realised my laptop has HDMI In (which I'm thinking will be better than the Mic input) and my surround receiver has a phono stage and HDMI out, so I'm going to try hooking it all up and see if I even need the Behringer USB phono thingy. Don't forget that you will need a phono preamp some...

Another quick question if you don't mind?

Roughly how much disk space will 1 minute of 32-bit WAVE recording use? (I'm trying to make sure I have enough space both on my laptop and on my USB HDD that I'll use as a backup)

I have the possiblity of being able to rip them all to .WAV and then worry about processing later (obviously I'd have to keep a record of artist/track/remix...

Thanks for the advice everyone. My concern regarding time stems from the fact that they are all dance music with an average of 2-3 tracks per disc. I'm guessing that's around 20 mins of music per disc, add on say 5 minutes per disc for the time to swap it, process, tag etc. That means 25 mins x 600 ...

I need to convert around 600 singles on Vinyl into MP3 within the next month and am looking for the quickest way to do this. Would it be possible to use something like the Numark TTXUSB and record them all on 78rpm with the pitch slider at +50% and then batch convert them all later to bring them dow...
