How does this differ from plugging in a guitar or mic in a soundcard and then recording directly into a DAW?

@imannie with soundcards, you are limited to the quality of ADC in your soundcard. Even the best ones don't typically have the same quality as high-end audio equipment (see compatible devices on our landing page). Instead of relying on a PC with potentially noisy power supply, unstable clocking, and sub-optimal ADC, Songcorder relies on the components available in the high-end gear and captures the digital signal broadcast over Ethernet. So in short: Songcast does not even do the conversion, the high-end equipment does it. Songcorder allows to save this signal as hi-res FLAC to enjoy later.

Hello Product Hunters! 👋 We would like to introduce to you Songcorder - the software that converts vinyl records into digital files. It’s an exciting moment for us because it’s the first time we are launching this product here and we are happy to share the new version of Songcorder with you 🎉 — ❓ How it works? Songcorder uses Linn multiroom protocol, Songcast, to record anything that plays on a Linn DS player: whether it is a turntable, magnetophone cassette, reel-to-reel tape, an Internet radio, or your guitar amp. ⭐ What's New The first version was more like a Proof of Concept to see if enough people would be interested in the idea. Songcorder 2.0 is a more user-friendly version. - New website: learn more about Songcorder and how it works - Improved GUI: more intuitive and easy to use - Simplified set up: we tried to make the process as straightforward as possible What didn’t change is the high-quality sound recording 🎵 💡 Our Why We’ve created Songcorder for several reasons. First of all, having a digital copy of your vinyl albums makes it easier to listen to them. You can access them from anywhere and at any time. It helps to preserve the state of vinyl records and extend the cartridge durability. But most importantly, we wanted to share our passion for music and tech with you 🤗 🙏 We’d love to hear your feedback and answer your questions!

@royyy it works on Windows and Mac. Windows 10 and macOS 10.5 are officially supported. Keep in mind that in order to use it, you still need to have one of the compatible devices (though others may be supported as well but haven't been tested, including Lumin, Auralic, Esoteric, or TEAC).
