Re: [LAU] Laptop Sound Adapter for Ripping my Vinyl Album Collection

I have an indigo dj pcmcia, and my only complaint is that I cannot use it with my current favorite laptop (old ibook g3 with no pcmcia slot). I had no issues with noise levels (pcmcia cards are very well shielded and grounded). If all you need is something that sounds about as good as the record player, any $30 usb 1 (which will work with any usb 1 or 2 port) soundcard is just about guaranteed to work with the snd_usb_audio driver and many of them have rca cable inputs. Of course your latency will be a bit high and sound quality less than perfect, but the flac files should sound at least as good as your turntable after capture.
