LP collection management...what do you guys do?
I actually gave my 2 cents as headcoat@hotmail, I've since joined the group. You see 10 out of 12 responses talk about databases, kinda sad. But look! now it's on topic.

Does anybody actually bother reading the posts they respond to?HE"S NOT FREAKING ASKING ABOUT DATABASE SOFTWARE!!!! 
Mono vs Stereo LP's
Perhaps it's the recording. 
LP collection management...what do you guys do?
"However if I need the money to fund current purchases it isn't too hard to weed a few things out. This is easier to do with CD's than it is with LP's because it's harder to sell LP's and get any money out of them."-huh??My experience is the oppos... 
Record Cleaner
"Perfectly well" is a phrase I hope all of you find some day. Unfortunately, "Grass is always greener" runs rampant on this board.I wash the used LPs I buy in the sink with a UFO dealie that a guy sells on ebay, it seals off the label. I use 1-2 d... 
LP to iPod
Oh, I thought you were using a $500.00 sound card. For $100.00 that's great. Also the M-Audio Audiophile sound card is good for $100.00. I'll have to check out wavelength. Keep in mind you are going to compress the audio files so a $100.00 sound c... 
LP to iPod
The first sugestion sounds super expensive. You could buy Magix Audio Cleaning Lab for $19.99. It's a super easy to navigate program. You just record the LP, it sets the track markers which are almost always right on, you just right click add/remo...

Starter Turntable
Hi,I'd like to raise one point that I didn't see so far. I see buying new vinyl as a much better investment than buying CDs. Vinyl releases are usually very limited. Some examples:I bought Elliott Smith XO brand new for $12.00, it is now out of pr... 
Technics SL-10 Linear Tracking
A lot of people hate the technics linear turntables. I have one and love it. Grado cartridges come in P mount, I have a silver on mine and it sounds fantastic. I bought this for the tiny footprint to use on my desktop for ripping vinyl to my hard ... 
Digitizing LPs: General advice wanted
I too am going to be recording LP's to my hard drive, I am only doing this so that I can listen on the road. I'm buying more LP's than I have the time to digest. I'm interested in recording 24/96 and was wondering if MP3 palyers can play these tra... 
New Releases on Vinyl?
Here in SF we have several stores. Most surprisingly Virgin Megastore on Market St. has a large new vinyl section now with a decent selection of top 40, indie, psyche resissues, $50.00 japanese beatles lp's, and major label "Rock". They even have ... 
LP storage? What do you use?
I have to agree with agaffer, I can't stand storing my records on a shelf. It's a pain to find anything even in alphabetical order. Record shop style all the way. I have a cheap pine LP shelf that I have laid flat on the floor and turned the LP's ...
