I use k3b to rip CD's. Have been since grip went away, I too liked grip. At the moment I have around 12,000 mp3 files, I like music, my wife liked music, we collected it, and I ripped mp3's off of our vinyl before switching to CD's.
grip is back, if you like it. How did you rip from vinyl? I'm considering ripping my old collection. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

How did you rip from vinyl? I'm considering ripping my old collection.
I would be interested in various techniques/tech to do this. Found an old collection of 78's that I have dared not play. I remember them being old when I was a youngster. I have an Dual 1219 (self restored) that can natively play 78's. Been casually researching the proper cartridge/stylus to use, lest I damage the discs attempting to play them. Perhaps a topic for another forum?

Anything is fair-game here! I agree that digitizing vinyl and whatever 78's were made out of can be a fun hobby. But I wonder why one would want to do it if not just for the technological joy. Is it to save the music? I'd argue that just about anything found on old records has already been digitized and is available on Youtube. Maybe one would want to preserve the scratches, clicks, wow, flutter, and grove-carving distortion? Just wondering. Regards, Lew

I'd be a bit astonished if many, or any, of these are already digitized. Mostly they are of "sentimental value" (bah! Humbug!), as they belonged to a grandparents siblings. They are in their native language as I recall. Regarding the audio "quirks", those are a fact. And, in fact, one reason I did not buy into the "vinyl renaissance" of recent memory. I buy only digital media these days. Yet, I did not manage to unload my dusty stacks of latter 1900's LP's. A Fad is a Fad, my lad. BTW, anyone interested in a SONY PCM-F1 and matching Video equipment? (I will probably be censured, scolded even, for this. Sigh)

Ah, non-English content might be a problem. But I've been surprised about what can be found on Youtube. For example, I found a single by the Jamies, "Summertime Summertime" which came out in 1958. Youtube even had the flip side. Another one is Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind" released in 1956. It has the flip side of that one too! One version on Youtube even has the clicks/noise left in. Others have been de-clicked. I had a friend maybe 20-years ago who started a small business to digitize records. He developed an algorithm to remove clicks from digitized record tracks. I bet something like Audacity would do that today. Of course, some might want the clicks/static left in. I don't know if anyone wants wow/flutter though. I remember obsessing about media-induced distortion/noise in music. CD's were a godsend! Now there are flac files! Kids these days don't know what Real Life was like! Regards, Lew

Maybe, maybe not. It can happen that one has discs that no one else has. There were not that many made back then: apparently only one of my ancestors had disks, one uncle.

I would like to hear what they contain, find out what my ancestors listened to. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
