I have a huge collection of music form the 40s, 50s and
early 60s on vinyl. I have looked for quite awhile for an
economical method for transferring them to CD. I finally
bought a USB turntable which will hook up directly to my
laptop, record the LP to my harddisk, allow me to edit pops
and crackles then burn to CD. I have made copies of six of
my collection so far, and WHEEE!!! It works great and I
love listening to my old favorites again. I have a six disk
changer in my car and a five disk changer in the house, I
need lots of CDs. ;-)

I applaud you, Beverly; DS & I really need to get something like that for
the same reason. We've bought a few CDs when some of the old ones have been
re-released, but there aren't that many.
Just imagine how faster your sewing will go when you're listening to all the
"oldies but goodies."

Not pushing this product, and NAYY, but the turntable I
bought comes with really easy-to-learn software:
http://tinyurl.com/5olspp
It is a little time-consuming, because it takes as long to
transfer the music to the computer as the record is long,
but once you start the recording you can turn your attention
to other tasks for about 15 minutes. Then you flip the disk
and record the other side. It's easy to insert marks for
each track, and also to omit certain pieces if you don't
like them. I combined the front and back from two LPs of
Herb Alpert onto one CD, which created 60 minutes of music
on one piece of media.
I'm intending to make a large mixed CD of several of my
favorite holiday albums later, too.

Hi Beverly,
Maybe you are already aware of this but you can purchase MP3
capable car and home CD players and then you can get 100s-1000s
of songs in MP3 format onto one CD.
Of course the number of songs is a factor of the quality of the
MP3 recording **you choose** but i found it very convenient to
have 100s of songs on one CD at radio quality recording.
Then there is always the MP3/iPod music player route where you
just plug it into your car or home capable player.
etc bla bla bla ... :)

I have software for converting .wav files to .mp3, so I
could probably make .mp3 CDs, but I really don't need 100s
of songs on one CD, and the entire mixing/converting/burning
process would not be worth the effort IMHO.

I have had a 40Gb MP3 player for a couple of years. I
mostly use it to download information from a financial guru
so I can listen to his advice while I'm driving, sewing and
gardening, but I certainly could use it for additional
music.
Thanks,
Beverly
