Converting LP's to digital files


After making my first TT purchase in over 30 years I now want to convert my albums to a digital format. Is there a good resource for doing this? Something that would describe hardware, software, formats, etc?

Hi I currently use an Alesis Masterlink stand along Pro HD/CD recorder. It makes the process pretty easy and you can record 24/96 AIF files. You can save files on cd and transfer them to your music server or burn redbook (regular) audio cds.

It is a real work horse. no usb out.

The analog to digital converter is very good and the street price is well under $1k.

-- Hey Davemitchell I am curious if you have any exposure to the Alesis, how do you think it stacks up vs. the Korg in terms of the quality of the ADCs. Obviously it is more versatile and can produce higher res files. I have held off on a the Tascam HD dvd burner recorder because I had heard that the quality of the ADC would not be better than in the Alesis.

thanks, Stephanie
