You can plug your turntable and cassette deck into your computer but the
simplest way is to use an analog CD recorder and hook it into your
receiver to record from cassettes, vinyl or whatever else is hooked up.

There ain't no such thing as an analog CD recorder - the term is an
oxymoron if there ever was one.

Surely you mean a stand-alone CD recorder with analog input (which AFAIK
they all have).

Yes I do mean a 'stand-alone CD recorder with analog input' but aside from
the fact that it's quite a mouth full, analog is a proper term since the
signal goes in analog, comes out analog and is used exclusively in analog
systems.

The output of a "stand-alone CD recorder" is a CD-R or CD-RW which is most
definately digital media.

What more does it need to be considered analog?

Actually record and playback without straying so completely into the digital
domain.

Every piece of electronic equipment is digital, including turntables and
cassette decks, if you want to describe processes going on inside the
device.

Hunh?

Mine doesn't recognize MP3s, wave or RMA files etc and can only play and
copy audio CDs.

Digital enough!
