Digitizing your vinyl
Soul Sides posts a pretty good run-down on how to get your slabs of wax compressed down into your iPod Nano or 500 Gig desktop hard drive. I can vouch for the $5 Radio Shack adapter method - download the Audacity sound editor for free and if you're really ambitious you can use it to cut the resulting files into individual tracks (though occasionally I've been lazy and just have four tracks for my double LP rips). USB turntables are a good recent innovation for transferring, and gets around possible shaky connections with inferior sound cards.
There's also a number of MP3 players with a line-in that will record direct to .WAV or MP3 files. They're a good way to go if you just want to encode your 12" singles for portable listening. It's getting harder and harder to find innovative hard drive players but Cowon continues to put out products with line-in, and iRiver and Creative provide docks for their flash players that allow recording. iPod options seem more geared towards recording live concerts but products like the Belkin TuneTalk come with a line-in option as well.
