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 MP3 format.

*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.

I use a tool called brec ( http://www.amberdata.demon.co.uk/bplay/ ) on my Linux box 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...

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.

Here are the albums that I've recorded so far:

  Earth Wind and Fire - Gratitude
Lou Reed - Rock n Roll Animal
Line: 39 to 41
  You've probably guessed by this list that most of my tastes in music were formed in the late '70's and early '80's.

BTW, I've accelerated the pace of recording since we found we have moths in the attic (long story, don't ask). If you want me to record any LP's for you please let me know ASAP since I'll probably sell the turntable when I'm finished.
