[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 427927, member: 9385"] Cassette player shouldn't be a problem, but I recall that turntables have some kind of weird voltage thing that receivers with phono inputs somehow accomodate. Don't know that it would [I]hurt[/I] it, but it certainly wouldn't sound very good. A cheap way to test would be to get a Griffin iMic (USB microphone input for Macs that don't have audio in, like my old Mini, which died a death by Cabernét) for US $30 and see what it would do. Of course if you already have a receiver or amp that accepts phono in, it's probably got a headphone out, and you should be able to hook that up to the Mic input. Otherwise I'd record the LP's to cassette first before recording to the Mac. I used to routinely hook up cassette players to a computer. Not necessarily a Mac, but it was no problem and I could record the cassette out to digital. [/QUOTE]
