Recording vinyl onto your computer (ORR)

Kinetic

OK peoples,I finally got a computer hooked up with a soundcard and all that, so now I need someone to school me on where I can find an easy to use free program to record vinyl onto my HD so I can upload soundclips and whatnot. Plaese to skool so I can add sounfiles to my site and such.What do most people use to do this?

Audacity. Odub just did a whole long thing on this at soul-sides.

Thanks for that. Now that I've read this, I should add that I am NOT a mac user. So Audacity is the best option for PC users? Is it free?

Is it free?

Yes sir.

I use AUDACITY to post on my man's account when he's not looking.

for some reason I'm constantly amazed by the Griffin iMic. records I've been rocking to death sound so much better than expected thru my simple 1200s into a pro-05 set-up.

I don't know if they still make it it but Griffin had a phono hook up too, with grounding and everything, looks like it must be discontinued though... I think it came with Final Vinyl software for Mac...
