  3. To answer your question in short: USB turntable to computer as mp3. There is a line of code that calls the file from server.

    1. The freeware that is packaged with most all, if not all new turntables has worked for me over the years. Experiment as you go along, maybe upgrade the cartridge and keep fresh needles handy.
