How to: From vinyl phonograph album to digital
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I still have a box of ancient vinyl phonograph records. While I do have a turntable from many years ago (actually a very nice one), I’ve never transferred the music to digital form.
Mostly that’s because it sounds like too much trouble to me. I can find almost anything I want - including the recordings on vinyl - as an MP3. So that’s the easy way out for me.
Many of my readers do want to transfer music from vinyl to digital form though. While I understand the theory of how to do it I’ve been reluctant to write about it because (1) without doing it myself I don’t feel comfortable just rewriting what someone else said and (2) to include all the gotchas and do a complete job - well, it would take more space that my print column allows.
But I have found a good link that will walk you through the process of making the transfer.
Since I’m no expert on the process, I’d be glad to hear - if some of you have done this - any suggestions, corrections or comments. Then, when I get reader e-mail asking how to do this, I can refer them to the archives here on the blog.
