[Cube] Cube - Transfer songs from record to CD

[Peace54 at aol.com]

About a year ago I bought an Edirol UA-3 USB Audio Interface at an Apple 
store.   Although I have only used it to copy audio cassette to my Cube's hard 
drive, it should also work for any device, including a turntable, which has two 
RCA audio jack outputs.   An RCA cable runs from the stereo or cassette player 
to the Edirol UA-3, then a USB cable goes from the Edirol to the hard drive.   
You still need software to capture the audio input; I have used both Sound 
Studio and CD Spin Doctor to do this.   I'm sure there are many other apps that 
could do it all as well.   I use Roxio Toast to make the CDs.
I have used this method to record a number of different audio cassettes.   
Mostly I have recorded songs for plays my wife does with her first graders; it's 
much easier to cue up these songs on a CD than to rewind the tapes.   The 
results have been great.
As I said, it should work just as well for a stereo with a turntable as it 
does from a cassette player as long as you have the RCA out jacks.   (For those 
who don't know, RCA jacks and cables are pretty much the standard cables used 
for audio and video transfers.   An RCA jack - male - has a round metal outer 
edge and a solid metal pin in the center; female jacks are receptacles for the 
male.   Sorry, ladies, I didn't invent the terminology.)
