Need to convert some old vinyl to digital but don't want to play the vinyl after so don't want to have to buy a record deck - any solutions??
Right then, what you'll need to do is place the record on a spindle of some kind, and a dog. Rotate the record slowly whilst holding a fingernail on the groove. As you feel the depth of the groove changing adjust the strength of your grip on the dogs testicles. Use a mic into your computer to record the resulting sounds, and you'll have an accurate rendition of your music.
Alternatively, a [url= http://www.usb-turntable.org.uk/ ]USB Turntable[/url] might do the trick.
Don't know about where you are, but there's a place in Stockport that will do it for you. may well be something near you, could be cheaper to just buy a usb t'table depending on how much you have though.
Commercial conversion will be £5-20 per album depending upon whether you want track markers/titles, audio clean up/enhancement, mp3 or CD burning & don't forget postage.
Probably cheaper to take the depreciation on buying/selling a USB turntable, if you only want mp3 that should be good enough.....
Just download them.
thanks jahwomble and hilldodger
