Audio system to computer

[Merv Curley]

Hi audiofile

I have decided to try and move my old vinyl and maybe 78's records to ogg, 
wav, or whatever files on the computer.  I have found some programs which 
seem to be at a level I can figure out.
  
I have taken the line-out of my amp and fed it to the line-in of the audio 
card and I wasn't surprised at the result.  Now if I can just get rid of 
the hum,  ground loop?,  I could get started.

Apparently no audio cards have ground isolation and I don't want to build 
something out of transformers, optical transducers etc.  What did you do to 
solve this?

One thing that has come to mind is a little fm transmitter [ Radio Shack ] 
at the Amp end and use a battery operated receiver at the computer.  That 
avoids the cable running across the room but it might not be the best 
quality. 

Other suggestions?   Thanks

Merv
