VINYL - 2,200 LP's to CD or Hard Drive - HELP


Someone I know has an extensive LP collection - to the tune of 2,200 lp's which he has had for MANY years, he is 86. He and his wife are interested in freeing up some space and ease the ability to listen to the music on the LPs instead of looking at them.

He wants to get them onto CD - but I am wondering about getting them onto a hard drive storage facilty for him, as he wants to sell the entire collection after. That will be my lovely task, but before - how do I do the above and any experiences would be appreciated.

One by one is obviously the only way to do this - suggestions on CD versus hard drive storage? Are these folks that get paid to do such an event?

I am near SF, CA -

thanks for any and all input.

Hard drive and off site back up is your best choice. You can always rip cd's at any time in the future if you choose and your music is always protected and saved, albeit in digital format. Unless you have a spare couple of months I'd hire a pro to do it, they would probably coordinate with storage also.
Good Luck
