The link that Steve pointed you at earlier contains the best workflow that I know for getting stuff into iTunes and adjusting the metadata (I wrote the workflow tutorial) - so please read and follow the steps in: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sample_workflow_for_exporting_to_itunes.html If yo...

Thanks for bringing this up hellosailor - it gave me a useful nudge to update the Manual with the additional insight that Gale gave me earlier in this thread. :) See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Device_Toolbar http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Devices_Preferences http://manual.audacityteam.o...

I think Koz is referring to the ARTcessories USB Phono Plus - see: http://artproaudio.com/artcessories/turntable_preamps/product/usb_phono_plus-ps/ For my LP digibitting I run an ARTcessories USB-DJ...
