Audio Systems: stereo to pc connector, creative sound card, rca stereo


Question
I want to record vinyl records and cassettes to my pc.  My old system doesn't work and isn't worth repairing. I just bought a used Panasonic stereo music system with Am/FM, cassette, phonograph.  There is no sound out connection except for a place to plug in headphones.  What kind of connector do I need to plug in there to go to my external Creative sound card?

Answer
Further, you can order the cables you need online with a simple google search.

depending on which jacks your equipment is using.

Go to Radio Shack and they can get you a cable with the right ends on it.  Headphones are usually the mini stereo jack.  Sound card inputs are either the mini plug or rca stereo.  Cables are available either way.

Audio Technica has a turntable that is designed for digital transfer; has digital out directly into your cd recorder or pc.
