What is the best way to convert vinyl records to CD?

1 Connect your turntable to the LINE-IN input plug on your sound card. If your sound card only has a mini 1/8th input and your turntable has only RCA's, you should be able to purchase an adapter that has stereo female RCA connectors to a male stereo mini-plug (1/8th inch). You can also connect your turntable to your home stereo system to provide better cable compatibility however if you do, TURN OFF YOUR EQ or SET THE EQ FLAT.\n\n2 Make sure you have got the correct Line Source selected or armed for recording on your sound card. On my system that has a Sound Blaster Platinum Extigy, it is found by double clicking on the Creative icon with the speaker. Then chose the appropriate source using the dropdown. Otherwise, go to Control Panel->Sounds and Multimedia->Device Properties\n\n3 If you have MusicMatch Jukebox, then you can simply use this app as an efficient means of recording from LINE-IN. Hit play on the cassette player and hit record in the jukebox application. You should end up with is a WAV file that is around 10 MB in size for every minute of recording.\n\n4 If you're a little more advanced, you may want to substitute MusicMatch for an audio editor. I prefer Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge 5.0 since its the most powerful recording application available with plug-ins useful for filtering out noise or restoring audio quality due to inconsistencies. Start up the audio editor and make sure you have set your recording parameters to 44.1 khz, stereo and 16 bit. The resulting WAV file will be of 'CD quality'.\n\n5 To convert the WAV to MP3, there are a lot of choices. If you're a beginner, you may want to download an all-in-one package that offers an MP3 encoder, decoder and player. See the MP3 section of this site. When you go to encode remember that the higher the bit-rate, the higher the audible quality of the music. An MP3 file in stereo at 128Kbps is the standard, but you can go much higher if you want. Sound Forge 5.0 has a built mp3 encoder/decoder.\n\nOther than that, just buy the mp3 or album on iTunes or napster

The best thing is to export them from iTunes as mp3.  Or, burn them onto a CD in CD-audio format, then rip it using MusicMatch into mp3 format.

find a vinyl player with a headphone port. Then, get a headphone to headphone cord. Plug one end into the phonograph player, and one into your computer. Download audacity, and back up your vinyls to CDs. Then they'll store better :D. If you're not willing to do that... i suggest somewhere where they won't be messed with and not get scratched... or melted... hehehe

The easiest way is called a poor mans copyright. It simply involves making a copy of your CD and then mailing it to yourself. Kept unopened, the dated postmark will protect you in court against unlawful copies.\n\nFrom that point forward the court record will protect you forever.\n\nYou can file any claims in small clains court too. That is pretty cheap and you will not even need a lawyer.

Master them as Mp3 or Wmv... put them on a CD and mail them.\nIf they don't have a PC, master them as a CD.  Most CD burning software will do that for you.

Burn them to a CD using the highest level of fidelity.  Then rip the songs from the CD to MP3 format. \n\nVoila.  No more file protection, minimal data loss.

clean the disk from center to the outside with a clean non abrasive cloth. The manufacturers of CD's recommend using a record cleaner. Windex works great. Alcohol can possibly damage the cd.

You could just burn the desired tracks to a CD, then use iTunes (or any other CD ripping software) to rip the CD.\n\nIf you really want .wav files, make sure your software is set to rip to .wav (and not MP3). If you use iTunes, go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Import, and select WAV encoding.

Download Real Player. It can convert most audio files into wav format. Also, try MusicMatch Jukebox.

Burn them to a cd and make the transfer if you got a cd/dvd burner.

1. Decrypt the DVD to local hard drive.  (DVD-decrypter)\n2. Locate the audio tracks in output directories\n3. Use another program to convert to .wav format\n4. Create an audio CD using another program, e.g. Nero

use the cd burner, but cd as my experience is not very reliable unless you verify the files after burn, and keeping them real good.\nup load them to a photo web site, if you have hi-speed connection, backup on 1 hand, sharing on the other, try these free sites\nhttp://www.photobucket.com/\nhttp://www.streamload.com

Difficult to write all the steps down here, but you can have a look at the following for some guidance (currently under development...) http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/DIY/how_to.htm This is certainly 'do-able', if you have the patience....\nYou will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software and CD writer.\nNote: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…\nYou could get someone to do it for you, there are plenty to choose from out on the web, this type of job is perfect for a 'virtual' studio.\nThe software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily produced for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too and even comes with a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads (audacity avaiable from download.com)– listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….\nOh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality
