Looking for suggestions as to the best program out there for recording my old records for conversion to wave files. Under winders I have Sound Forge available, but would very much prefer using a native Linux program. Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.
I use gramofile that comes with SuSE. It is a command line package and I was able to record in some cassettes that I wanted to make oggs and CDs out of.
It is called gramofil on the CD's

Hello David, Personnaly I use 'ecasound' available on SuSE distribution. To record a radio sending or a vinyl track (audio line input): ecasound -c -a:1,2 -i /dev/dsp -a:1 -o music.cdr -a:2 -o music.mp3 You can replace music.mp3 with music.ogg if you prefer. The -c option starts ecasound in interactive mode. In interactive mode you can control ecasound with simple commands ('start', 'stop', 'quit', 'pause', etc). music.cdr --> audio CD music.mp3 or music.ogg --> computer dir This way I record a whole radio sending (or vinyl) in one evening and burn it immediately on audio-CD. For ecasound documentation: http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation (user's guide in PDF). The same with Gramofile: don't forget to set iGain on (with KMix, Gamix or Aumix). Gramofile has the advantage to show the recording level (important to avoid saturation and with vinyl that have a very low audio signal output) but I favour ecasound because it delivers sound files simultaneously in .cdr and .mp3 (or .ogg) format. With Gramofile I had to spend more time to convert to .mp3 or .ogg. http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631
