Has anyone transferred their LP's to MP3 or CD audio? I'm just getting started,
and I'd appreciate any hints, tips or warnings!
What I've done so far:
I've patched the tape-out on my amplifier to the line-in on my sound card.
Since I'm running Win98 on the home box, I only record during times when the
computer is not in use. All non-essential processes are shutdown. I'm using
GoldWave <http://www.goldwave.com> to capture the analog signal to digital.
After recording one side of record, I normalize the .wav output, and split it
into individual track-files. Then I convert to MP3 using Xing's encoder.
Since the computer is in use almost all the time, I can only capture one album
per day (one side at night, the other in the morning).
Eventually, I'll borrow a CD-R drive, and dump full sets of MP3 files to CD-ROM.
Since Kristin would rather have audio, I'll skip the MP3 step for her music, and
create audio CD's.
So far, it's going alright. The sound is acceptable, although a bit muffled.
I'll have to play with GoldWave's EQ, to see if I can fix things up either pre-
or post-recording. I haven't burned a CD yet. Because I don't have that many
MP3 files, and because I'm cheap enough to wait for a really good deal on CD-Rs.

| Steve, I have not looked too close, but you can get that CD duplicator that is a stand alone unit. It might have a line-in on it. I have been using a Minidisc system from Sony. It is a really sweet system, and I can put anything on it, from Digital (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
