Don't know what you have your turntable pluged into but if its a reciever or amplifier there should be some outputs on the back labled line out. Get yourself a cable from Radio Shack or Target that has RCA connectors at one end (the kind that plug into your reciever or amplifier, there should be two. One for right channel and one for the left) and on the other end a stereo mini plug, (the kind that plugs into your walkman). Take this cable and plug the RCA connectors into your amplifier or reciever and plug the mini-plug into your computer line in. Make sure its the line in and not the mic input. The next thing you need is software on the computer to allow you to record. There is a program on windows called sound recorder in the accessories drawer then look in the entertainment drawer. but I think there might be a time limit on how much this will record. A better program if you have a SoundBlaster card is called WaveStudio. It has a complete help section that should guide you through the process of recording and no time limits are used. Be warned that wave files are very large, about 40 megs for a four minute song. After you record a selection you may then convert it to an MP3 and if you use a high bit rate like 320kbs it will sound very good and the resulting file will be much smaller, maybe 4 megs. You could then delete the original wave file to make room for other selections and repeat the process. If in the future you buy an MP3 player you can down load you MP3 collection to it and have a portable collection of you LP tunes! To make CDs you need a CD burner. These cost from 170 to $300 and come with the software you need to convert your wave files to a CD.
Hope this helps.
