hi there, the only real thing u can do is, either get an amp with a rca or some sort of out put, ur dvd player will be fine for the cds and dvd, but ur g5 should have a dvd player anyway, so you can convert them from there.
if you dont wanna buy a new amp for your tapes and lps, what you can do is,
get a 3.5mm stereo head phone plug or old cable you have lying around cut it and pull of a bit of the sheathing inside the cable there will be a screen which is the necative - and 2 smaller cables which are the left and right channel positive + . now all u have to do is connect the 2 positives to the speaker outs on your stereo obviously + to + and - to -. you should only have to connect the - to one channel as there is a common earth.
once this is done plug the 3.5mm plug into the input of ur mac. done.
remember to have the volume low on your stereo as this has a high output wattage compared to rcas or head phones, itll take a few tys to get the desired out put level.
good luck let me know how it goes.

Has anyone used Roxio Toast 6 to digitize any albums or cassette tapes? I recently purchased it, but have been unable to connect my CD/DVD/Turntable/Tuner receiver to my iMac G5. Do I need the little box thing that takes a RCA cable signal and makes it a USB? I have a 1/8" Mic to RCA cable but that doesn't seem to work. Also, where am I supposed to connect it to the receiver? The only outputs I know of are for the speakers and they are designed for speaker wire and not RCA cables. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
