Coaster is a freeware OS9 application designed expressly for importing albums and tapes to your Macintosh. It makes a cumbersome job a lot easier. Under OSX I use AudioX. It doesn't have as many features as Coaster but it gets the job done. The problem is that you have to record each song as a separate file which means a lot of stopping and starting and naming files which can get very tedious. Coaster and AudioX help a lot and both are cheap ( or free! ). I have never done tapes but with albums you cannot go straight from the turntable with any quality, you have to run it through a pre-amp ( normally a receiver with an aux jack or tape output will work ). Your input will be an AIFF file ( or .mov with AudioX ) and really huge but iTunes will convert it to MP3 for you.
