I'm looking for a sound card that I can use mainly for some simple home recording with my PC and transferring my LPs to CDs and MP3s. One of my friends recommended the M-Audio Audiophile 2496, which seems like it would be a good fit. But I'm wondering if I could use it for both a desktop and a laptop. If not, can anyone recommend an alternative? I'm not looking for anything fancy. Thanks.

If you want two mic/lines or more look at the bigger M-Audio or Presonus boxes.
BTW, you'll need an [url=http://www.zzounds.com/item--ARTDJRPRE]RIAA preamp between the turntable and the CPU.
