Is it worth making CDs from old LP records?
Or is it better to just buy the CDs new? Crosley and TEAC make a unit for 0 that will do it without the complicated software but the music quality is no better than a basic record player. For that money I can get a Bose radio with CD and buy a turntable. I'm thinking of doing that actually.
the needle of the record player trasmits the music through vibrations caused by the variance in the groove. each time you listen the the record, it degrades due to friction caused by the needle. If you want to preserve the record, transfer it to cd. The software you use to transfer the music from a computer file to a cd will have settings you can use to modify the sound to your taste.
If you are really nostalgic for the sound of scratch, pop and hiss associated with records, winamp has a plug-in that will add them to your digital copy on playback.
why buy a device that will do this? you can do this with audacity which is a free software…
I have a bunch of cassette tapes and LPs that I ripped… but for the most part, i searched online to download the material.. it saves lots of time, and most downloaded tracks are ripped from CD…
I think that if you own a copy of an album and you have the right to make a copy for personal use, and you can prove you own that album, i do not think that it would be illegal for you to get that copy from file sharing, or torrents…
People listen to records because it has a certain sound to it. The CD that is burned from the LP will have that played on a turntable sound to it. A new CD will be all "digitally remastered," etc. Up to you.
I think so. Some people recorded stuff for me from a live band that never got publicly recorded. So I was thinking of doing the same thing with the bag full of cassettes that I have.
