Re: Error Message help needed

Yes indeed that will work fine, but it sounds to me as though you either need a bigger onboard disk at some stage.

Re: Importing a WAV file

Or you can use iTune - it runs fine on a PC - and is free to download from the Apple website (you don't need to buy an iPod to get iTunes).

Re: NO SOUND-DELL LAPTOP/KAM TURNTABLE/WINDOWS XP

Does the Kamm USB TT that you are using have a gain control anywhere? I used to run an ION iTTUSB and that did have one.

Re: vinyl-to-digital noise

Al, I use the ART preamp that Koz mentions (he uses the other one BTW) connected to my Technics deck and then onwards to a separete Edirol USB soundcard into to PC. This gives excellent recordings with no "USB interference" detectable. So I suspect that the problem lies with your Pro-ject ...
