Hello All, I have a turntable with both analog and streaming USB outputs. It is one from Jaycar. What audio packages do I need to be able to record the streaming USB on Ubuntu and Debian? I have been looking, and there are vague references in the comments about recording, but not specifically stating that they can capture from USB. There is a CD of Windows software, and I am hoping that I do not need to enable something first from a Windows box. That is a SNAFU about which I do not yet have information, but will be looking at. I am thinking along the lines of some USB devices with the software distributed as files on the storage side, but flippable into an "active" device mode, such as some wireless "modems". Regards, Mark Trickett

How does it appear to the PC when plugged in via USB? I have a similar cassette tape device. The A to D conversion is done by the device and when connected via USB it's reported as a digital audio input. I simply choose that stream as an input to Audacity. Regards, Colin.

yep. most, if not all, similar devices appear as just another usb audio device. and if there's driver support for that audio device, it should Just Work....AFAIK, there isn't much in the way of audio hw that isn't supprted by linux these days. it's probably also worthwhile finding the USB ID numbers (manuf & model) with lsusb and googling for something "xxxx:yyyy linux usb audio" or similar craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #56: Electricians made popcorn in the power supply

My suspicion is that if you look you'll find that Windows software is actually a build of Audacity and that the device itself will appear as a USB Audio device. cheers!
