copying vinyl into iTunes

I use a Bheringer UCA222. I've had it a long time and it's probably been superseded by now. It works fine and I've ripped most of my vinyl with it. I use Audacity which is great. Put a bookmark at the start of the tracks with the track name an it will track split for you when saving. The UCA222 is fully automatic, which means you have no control over the recording settings, but for very quiet albums you can add gain with Audacity if it bugs you.

If you have a lot of 12" singles then you might want to find something that lets you set the recording levels because these can have a higher volume than standard LPs and the UCA222 might not cope with them. Ditto if you splash out on specialist classical pressings with high dynamic range. This has only caused me a slight problem with one track on one album in a collection of over 500 LPs, so I wouldn't sweat it if you just have a bunch of normal LPs.
