Hi, There are lots of ways to do this. The simplest way now is to get one of the turntables that has a USB output and feed it to a computer. You didn't specify what you wanted to play the music from so I guessed it would be digital as in a PC, tablet or phone. There are really cheap turntables that do this and some more expensive ones as well. The cheap ones like Crosley will work, but the end result is rather poor. Slight more costly ones like several AT branded ones will do a reasonable job. They generally run in the $150-250 range. Using one of this type with out an audio amplifier will mean you will have to listen to it on the PC. The quantity of records you want to record and their condition ought to govern what you seek to play them on. If they are beat up and few, I would likely just opt for digital down loads of them. If they are in good condition then recording them may make sense. Once in a PC there are several software programs that are free and will clean up the sound a bit and let you make CDs or just music files of the recordings. I like Audacity personally. It is not super intuitive, but will do a good job. It can not however make bad recordings or seriously deficient ones like new. If you will provide more specifics it will be possible to narrow down some choices.
