[AT] Digitizing LPs (Vinyl) Was Re: The Wreck Of The Old 97/OT

[Don Thiel]

One of my ongoing projects has been to digitize my vinyl 
collection.  I am about half done....   I ran cable from the "tape 
out" jacks of my stereo to the "audio in" of my computer (with the 
appropriate converter from RCA type jacks to miniature).  I then use 
Nero Wave Editor to record as I play the LP (or 45 or 
cassette....).   Then I save the entire recording as one big 
file.  The version of Wave Editor will save to WMA files, which 
Windows Media Player will play.   Then I cut the file into individual 
songs as needed, saving them under the format "Artist-Album-Cut 
number-Song title".   I use Media Player to sort and then assign 
album info back to the songs.   Either Nero or Media player will then 
burn CDs as necessary.    Takes about a half hour per LP to cut, save 
and assign a complete LP.   This does not include the recording 
time.   I usually record while I am doing other stuff, then cut a 
bunch when time allows and after cutting a bunch do the media player 
assignments.   Seems to work for me....

The version of Nero that I use is not able to remove pops and 
hisses.   I believe the newer versions are.
