saw joey defrancesco and moody(jimmy smith was supposed to be there but passed away a couple of days earlier)at Yoshi's in oakland a couple of months ago. moody, one of the few living masters and a great comic story teller.........

Considering price, quality and user friendlyness, which turntable and software sould I use to transfer my lp's to cd. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desk Top
