Has anyone used the ADS Technologies "Instant Music" capture box

with Linux? It ships with Nero software for Windows - what Linux package
could I use?

Or, any other suggestions? I have a hundred or so LPs I want to rip.

I've been swearing to around to this for a while but have declaring myself
lazy for years. I always thought I would get adapters to feed the "line
in" socket on the sound card and use any of the dozen or so apps that will
record "line in" to .wav files. After that there are many others that
convert wav to ogg or mp3. Certainly someone has a direct to ogg or mp3
program. I don't see any other place to start.

What have you tried that doesn't work?


I am just starting down that road finally after years of misplaced "round to
it"s. Another poster suggests Audacity, which I have installed and will
try. I may need to get a phono pre-amp though, since I'm using an
80s-vintage Dual 604. My soundcard is on-board my ASUS A8V Deluxe
motherboard.

I was wondering if the ADS box offered me any advantage over going straight
to line-in on my soundcard.
