Don't have the money for it and i hope that 8 bit will be enough. A few
years i took some samples from CD and the quality was enough.... But i know
that a LP has less quality? Or not?

Don't need that at all and i don't have a PIV but a CV3D. I heard a while
ago that it was possible to use the CV3D as a soundcard or am i wrong about
this?

If i have the money i'll maybe get a secondhand soundcard...

That's quit long, maybe i should be doing it on my 800mhz Athlon :) No off
course i want to make everything for my website with my Amiga. Till this
moment i still have managed :)

I'll probably go for 128kbs and some samples i will leave in WAVE format i
think.... and when i sample in 8bit, will there still be a diffenrence
between 128 and 192 kbs :).
The sound only needs to be understandable :)

I got some old software with the sampler, try that first. I guess it had a
option to write a complete LP/CD etc. to hardrive in WAVE format, then i'll
cut the right parts from it and encode it in mp3 format.
thanks for your advice
