Anyone doing vinyl to CD's. I know they do it. I have so many LP's that I hate to go and buy them on CD, especially since file sharing is taboo. I'd love to know how to do it without the usual aggravation accompanied with anything involving a computer that I seem to encounter when I get involved in things like this. Paul

Hey Professor, I asked this a couple years ago but never did figure it out. I think it has gotten easier now, I'm all ears.

I imagine a good quality linear turntable jacked to a good receiver jacked to the input jack of a good sound card in a PC - then rip to whatever suits your fancy...

Or buy the CDs used on Ebay :musc:

I do vinyl to ipod. Much better

However, the player to pc is okay you need an amp and a filter to get the damn dust out.

About 10 years ago someone gave me a stack of about 50 records, all reggae and blues. Some good stuff I 'd like to listen to but dont want to spend on CD's. So I'll go out and spend a couple hundred on a new turntable and jacks and I can listen to the classic scratchy chit :tooth:

if you had say, one favorite vinyl record
that you wanted to transfer to a CD

there's no service orientated company
out there that will do this for a price....?

i've been wondering this for a long time.

I saw a machine advertised that does just that, record records to CDs. As I recall it was about $300. It had a retro look to it. I think Linens and Things carries(d) it. I have no idea how good it is.

I have been file sharing for years!! and I have gone from a few albums to about 9000 songs in my computer now!!

Its amazing how many song you know when you start looking for them! And in 9000 songs there is not one song I dislike!!

Just Google, records to CD software to get all kinds of stuff like this:
