There are CD burners that hook up to your stereo -- you could record the LPs directly to CD, then have your grandson rip the songs (and fix up the tracks -- the CD player is hit and miss when it comes to separating the songs into tracks).
Also, many computers have mic in or line in -- you could go from the record player through a receiver or pre-amp (or some way to get the phono out to be properly matched with a line in) and capture wave files on the computer, then convert to MP3.
There are probably other solutions too. My second suggestion would be cheaper than the first, if you already have a computer that has the right inputs.
Hello
I have several LP vinyl records and I wish to transfer them to mp3 format so i can store them onto a Mp3 Player, if I get one.Most of the LP's are gone and were never produced in the U.S. and cd's are not available so this is my only chance
Is it possible...I do not have a computer so I will have my grandson taking the mp3's and putting the files on to the Ipod/ or whatnot
Would I go about this with a Analog to Digital Converter? I havent found any for sale via google, and What sort of mechanism would be need to take the files and compress them..then put it on the mp3?
Sorry If this is confusing
Help is aprreciated
~Thanks
