1. Buy iMic. It includes a CD to install Final Vinyl. $35 from Griffin 
or $40 from Apple Store.
2. Connect iMic to computer.
3. Connect RCA plugs from turntable to iMic. No pre-amp needed. Be sure 
to ground the TT or you'll get hum.
4. Open Final Vinyl. Read the help file.
5. Start record playing. Click on "record."
6. When finished, drag the resulting AIFF files into iTunes, convert 
them to MP3 and delete the AIFFs (saves a LOT of space), and burn CD of 
converted album.
