                        USB TURNTABLES  

                         It seems the death of vinyl has been greatly exaggerated. There are lots of USB turntables available now, and they are perfect for the task of playing those classic vinyl records via your computer, or for converting your LP's to digital format. I've compiled a list of my top five USB turntables, along with reviews...

                        CONVERTING VINYL RECORDS TO CD  

                         For seasoned audio purists, nothing compares to good old-fashioned analog recordings on vinyl records. But those old records are fragile... here's an illustrated step-by-step guide to help you convert vinyl records to CD so you can enjoy them for years to come...

                        CONVERT ITUNES MUSIC TO MP3 FORMAT  

                         Perhaps you've purchased music from iTunes and you want to play those tunes on a non-iPod music player. Apple says no. How about making backup copies of your music library? Or burning your favorite tunes to a CD so you can listen in the car? The RIAA says no. But that doesn't mean you can't...

                        ITUNES ALTERNATIVES  

                         If you have an iPod and an Apple computer, read no further. iTunes works great on Macs, but if you run Windows or Linux, it's a different story. Many people complain that iTunes is buggy, less than intuitive, and a memory hog on non-Apple platforms. Here are some noteworthy iTunes alternatives... 

                        ITUNES ALTERNATIVES  

                        LIMEWIRE - FILE SHARING  

                         Limewire is a free file sharing program, which allows individual users on the Internet to make music, video and other files available for direct access by other users. But is Limewire safe and legal? Learn about Limewire, copyrights and the risks of file sharing...

                        RIP AND BURN BASICS  

                         Is your downloaded music piling up on your hard drive? Or perhaps you've got a bunch of CDs with only one or two songs on each that you really like. It takes just a few minutes to learn how to "rip" songs from a CD, and "burn" your own music mix to a new disc...
