You would need a wire to connect your record player line out socket(assuming it has one) to your PC line in, or microphone socket. Then you need to use a sound recorder program to record each song, and then save the file to a .mp3... It's possible, it depends what sockets are on the record player.

If you want a free two track editor that is pretty good check out Audacity. It's available for Mac, WinXP, and Linux.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How do I get iTunes to stop looking for those files, without going through and manually deleting each entry? Because that's a pain in the neck and hard on my hands.
Are you running iTunes on a PC or Mac? If it's a Mac, you could download a script that would delete all these for you. This site [link] should have a script that does that.
eta: Ah, here it is: Super Remove Dead Tracks v1.5
Surveys iTunes for tracks that are no longer available on the local drive (as indicated by a "!" next to their names) and removes them. Any playlists that subsequently contain no tracks will then be deleted. Progress is displayed every 500 tracks. This is a more radical version of Remove Dead Tracks.

le nubian, thank you!
And yes, I have a PC. So I just unzip this file and run it while iTunes is running?

Has anybody else noticed an increase in spam recently?

My turntable is connected to my receiver/amp, which has RCA plugs for recording onto a cassette deck. I have RCA cables running from the "record" plugs on the receiver to my computer. At the computer end, I have a small adaptor (easily obtainable at Radio Shack) that accepts two male RCA plugs on one side, and has a stereo mini-plug on the other side. The stereo mini-plug plugs into the microphone plug of my computer.
I'll second Audacity as excellent free software to do the recording.

you can delete from within iTunes, and it asks "remove from iTunes or delete from HD". Just clicky delete. Of course that doesn't help you now, but, thought I'd mention.
The other option, I suppose, is "consolidating" my library but I'm worried about that because I don't like the way iTunes sorts things. It has a terrible time managing soundtracks and compilations, I've noticed.
If you do the "get info" there is a check box that ask if it is a compliation. Of course, then it sorts it in a compliation folder, which might not be where ya want it.
And Kevin, YES! I've noticed a LARGE increase in SPAM lately. Hate it!
