Record Player ........

I am sure it is possible, if your sound card has a line-in jack. I have listened to a few MP3's with the crackle sound of vinyl, and I remember the bit-rate fluctuating rapidly.

If you can hook it up, can you make it a drive on your computer, like have it show up as a drive on "My Computer"?

I am not sure, but I think you would look at it more as a microphone. You could play and record from the record player, like you do from a microphone, using good sound recording software of course. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

For a Christmas present for my Dad a couple of years ago, I took all his favorite albums and put them on CD for him, I connected a record player to my home stereo system, and from the 1/4 inch microphone jack on the receiver of my stereo I connected a cable with a 1/4 inch male on one end and a 1/8 inch male on the other and connected this to the line in on my sound card. I used a program called "Cool Edit 96" to record all of this in .WAV files. If you want to make them in MP3 you would also need a program to convert them into them to MP3 (the newer version of Cool Edit does this) http://www.syntrillium.com/

Just a question i thought of while sitting around. Can you hook a record player up to a computer? Is is possible to like turn records to mp3's, or does it require like recording onto other stuff, then transfering to whatever, and so on?
