Need some advice from you technical blokes :), I'm stuck due to lack of understanding lol, i need some new way of sharing my music with people that doesn't include mini disc's and cd'rs, i play in analog with vinyl and always recorded and copied the slow way, what I want to know is I've seen amps with usb outputs but after that I'm stuck how do I record/share etc? Any advice welcome

:), so once I've recorded it to the laptop how can others download it?
Need an amp with a usb port simple as that then?

I ripped my CD's into my iTunes Library, which I have on a 4TB NAS drive (network attached storage).
Does your Hi-Fi separates system have the capability to run high rip speed? Most laptops will run as high as 20:1. The reason I mention it - is you don't want to spend ages ripping the CD's at the same speed you listen to them.
I use a media server called Plex - I loaded the client app on my android phone, so I can listen to my music anywhere with either a wifi or cell signal.

Just post me a minidisc this time :)
Funnily enough, I have the same MD deck, well, two of them (copying purposes bitd) and tuner also.
Think Colin's saying just use that program to record to your laptop via one of your amp's tape out loops and the laptop's audio input.
Once it's recorded you can share as you like.
But still post me a minidisc ;)

Oh bloody hell dude. You really ain't got a clue have you?
You can upload your mix on sound cloud then I can listen to your groove anytime with the sound cloud app.
Out of my mates who upload mixes & I have a few they reckon soundcloud is the easiest option.
