Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC


I am going to start ripping vinyl into WMA files for my dad (I stole his collection). Lossless is what I am going to use.

I have a nice vinyl front end with tube phono stage. I need to know what software and hardware I will need to make this happen.

I don't think the sound quality will be what I need through a sound card. A usb device would be absolutely ideal. I would like to spend under 500 bucks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks - Evan

Sorry if this seems like a newb topic, but I have done alot of searching and had less luck then I thought I would.

try posting on head-fi.org. Lots of folks there into computer audio big time. One thing I do know is that you will need to take a line leve signal off the tape loop of the pre-amp via RCA cables and then run it through an A-D converter of some kind before storing it on the PC's hard drive.
