By all means, connect your stereo to your computer.
Then you can use pro quality recording/editing software
which a stand-alone cd record wont offer.

I ran a 25 ft cable from my stereo to my PC. It was worth the
effort.

One of my tape decks went south again and needs another repair. I
can't complain too much as it has thousands of hours on it. But rather
than fix it I'm thinking of burning CDs instead of tapes.

I have some questions:

1. What is better: a good quality PC sound board or a CD recorder? I
like the PC sound board idea but it could be inconvenient as my
desktop machines are not near my stereo.

2. How do you set the level on the CD when recording? Do they have VU
meters showing how many bits you're using?

3. Is there any sonic benefit to HDCD encoding a recorded CD?

4. Will I be able to play the CDs I burn in any player?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks,
