[AT] OT... sort of

[Everett Hanson]

Did some conversion last winter but used my old turntable and a cheap 
phono pre-amp that plugs into to the microphone jack of mycomputer sound 
card. I used a free program called "audacity".  I wanted MP3 files to 
put in my portable player.  I will probably do more this winter but the 
weather is to nice and it will not be much fun to play with the tractors 
when it's -20 degrees in Jan.
