editor but it is severely strong and not effective as it introduces its own
weird noises into the mix.

Hi dadiOH,

Thanks for the reply, in the end I found Exact Audio Copy EAC which is
pretty good for finding peak levels and dealing with pops etc.

cheers,
Pete.

I believe EAC only grabs audio from CDs, not LPs.

I'm looking for programs myself. However, MP3 is simply out because it's
a lossy medium. OK for popular music, but not for the best quality audio
that's a necessity for classical and most real jazz.

Exact Audio Copy looks like a possiblity. Anything else?

Then you will have to record to wave. The waves can be compressed about
50% in a non-lossy manner in various ways...APE, SHN, FLAC...
