Is there a free program that will covert vinyl records to CD?

[Dave]

Hi Guys,

I have quite a lot of vinyl records and cassette tapes that I would like to put on CD, I was wondering if there is any freeware (obviously) that has the ability to achieve this as well as making them into MP3 format so as I could save them onto my hard drive first.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it very much indeed.

Many many thanks guys.

Dave.

Audacity will do this:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

to save to MP3 you will need to install the LAME MP3 encoder (also free)
from:

http://mitiok.free.fr/

There's a very helpful mailing list for audacity (the link should be on the
audacity homepage) if you get stuck with anything.

Since you didn't include /any/ of the previous post, like a moron, no
one knows what you're talking about. My guess is that's about par
for the course.

I use audiograbber- it's simple to use

http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/

Audiograbber can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence
from the start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or
external MP3 encoders, such as Fraunhofers L3enc, or even use some
MP3/WMA encoders internally for automatic creation of MP3's.
Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet
compact disc database. You can even record your vinyl LP's or cassette
tapes with Audiograbber and make wav's or MP3's of them. There are a lot
more functions in Audiograbber, but to put it simply: Audiograbber has
the most features one can wish from such a program!

And you're welcome, though it would be nice to know what we are being

My guess is you need a real newsreader, you do not need to waste your time
on posts that do not concern you...or you are part of the group I
mentioned.

OK looks good, now my question is how do I get the records to fit in my cd
burner??? Is there a freeware program to shrink the records?

You have to use mini-45 rpm records - they fit perfectly in the cup holder
in your computer.

My guess is that you're a clueless moron. Check that. It's clearly
not a guess.
