I would like to convert my collection to digital, but I don't know what to use and how expensive it is. In my case, I also have a lot of 78 RPM disks I'd like to convert.
And I would like to do that in Linux.
How good are these "analog-to-digital" vinyl players?
Is the digitizing done on the player or the computer?
Software requirement? Ie, I do not want to do it in Windows.
I bought a Sony turntable for around $100US, I don't remember exactly how much. Of course it came with Windows software. I didn't like the software that came with it. The records I have copied I used Audacity with good results. Audacity is free but be sure you get the addons. As one would expect from Sony it is a pretty good turntable. Tone arm balance is very good. I can't really talk about stuff like the cartridge because I'm not very knowledgeable about such things. The audio comes out analog, left and right, then goes through another device that digitizes it, I assume, and it comes out on USB. When plugged into a computer it becomes an external sound card. -- Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
