< < | *NOTE* - I started this process using MP3 as a format, but MP3 (like GIF) has some very odious patent issues, so now I plan to do all of my recording in the excellent (and truly free) Ogg format. There appear to be many encoders and players for computers, although no little hand-held players (yet), but since I listen at my PC most of the time that's OK. You can learn more about Ogg at http://www.xiph.org/ - it's very cool. Back in high school and college I used to listen to music, go to shows, and buy a lot of albums. I can remember falling asleep to the glow of my 20-watt receiver that I got at Tech Hifi. I've got different priorities these days so I find it pretty inconvenient to queue up an LP and keep the kids from jostling it while I listen. I had a thought the other day that I'd probably listen to my LP's more if it were more convenient so I've started the process of recording them digitally and converting them to a compressed format. | |||||||

I use a tool called brec ( http://www.amberdata.demon.co.uk/bplay/ ) on my PC to do the basic recording and then write em to CD's using cdrtoaster ( http://cdrtoaster.sourceforge.net/ ) and convert to MP3 format using lame ( http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/ ). The combination seems to work pretty well, and it's amazing how you remember certain clicks and pops even after 10 years... |
