Im still rockin' the 12" 1.2 Ghz iBook. I'm sitting here getting jealous of my roommate who is converting all his records to digital files with his new macbook pro w/ audio In and turntable. So I know the iBook doesn't have an audio in but I've been researching some things like the iMic or some type of audio box that has red/white audio inputs and then a USB output for my Mac. And then I just plan to record the tracks in Garageband as a real instrument or use a certain program.

So I guess my questions are, what type of device is the best for what I want to do. I want really nice sound quality but not at an unreasonable price point. I plan to digitalize alot of 60's rock and old 45s.

Also which would be the best program to record something like this, is Garageband fine?

Thanks!
 
iMic

I did a project converting some of my cassette tapes to digital format with my old G3 iBook. I bought and used the iMic, and it worked great for me.

I used SoundStudio to do my recording, it came bundled with the iBook, so you might already have it.
