Who of you can remember a time before mp3s and cd's and even cassettes?

Yep, I'm referring to Vinyls, those big round things you put on a turntable and when you put the needle on it, sound emits.

Well for those of you who do, then the following bit of info will be very good news indeed.

The Full Story:

This site covers the whole story on how to copy vinyl to mp3 (sometimes called ripping) and audio cd and also includes freeware downloads. Copy ing your vinyl singles and LP s to make audio CDs and MP3 files is very easy. But what if you have a problem and its not working? I start here with a list of hardware and software you need, then a step by step how-to. Then I'll cover some more detail in case you're still not clear. Finally a link to my troubleshooting page in case anything doesn't work. If you think anything here is incorrect, or you feel there's more I could usefully add or change, please tell me.

What you need

a pc with a sound card and a cd writer.
a turntable
an stereo amplifier (eg hifi amp) or preamp (see below for more details)
a recording lead - 2 phone plugs to one stereo 3.5mm jack
record ing software
crackle removing software, if you like
