I'm not sure what the sound bridge is needed for. I have an Ion turntable and have<br>used it to rip LP's. My only problem was that the name audaciy stuck on the input<br>choice wasn't clear and left me floundering for a while. Once I realized the input<br>
to select, it worked just fine. I ran the clean up function that was recommended<br>but I couldn't really tell the difference. Finding the breaks between tracks was a little<br>work as they did not stand out on the visual. It was worthwhile though as it<br>
made it easy to write the result to CD as separate tracks.<br><br>Richard<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 9:39 PM, Alex Mandel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tech_dev@wildintellect.com">tech_dev@wildintellect.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Yes, the generic usb-turntable (ion, I got mine at costco a few years<br>
back) that's everywhere now works well. You'll need good cleaning<br>
supplies, I got a brush from the record store in mid-town.<br>
<br>
I do not recommend going from a stereo or traditional turntable directly<br>
to sound cards, you almost always want the conversion to happen outside<br>
the actual machine so you don't get clicking from sounds inside your<br>
case. Looks like ion now makes a generic usb sound bridge now too<br>

Note: the ion brand stuff "software" is actually the open source<br>
Audacity application, with a couple of add on filters and tools can find<br>
and split your recording into individual tracks and compress to your<br>
preferred format.<br>
