Old LP's and records

[Cary Bielenberg]

I found a phone to usb converter on ebay & that way I use my "real" turntable. Of course it just worked with Audacity in Karmic & Lucid. 

  

Cary BTW did you know there is a resurgence of Vinyl? In the last month I have bought about a dozen latest or last 12 month release on 180g vinyl.

The most surprising stuff was that the software package delivered was Audacity. Seeing this I thought, that could be something for my UBUNTU machine and just bought it even it was no mentioning of LINUX on the package.  Today I tried it and worked out of the box, I was not even forced to load the Installation CD. All you need is AUDACITY. I am using still UBUNTU 8.04 just for your info.  Greetings Ferdinand    -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au at lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au   Ferdinand,  How did you find the device itself? My parents recently bought a device similar to that from the catchoftheday (I realise you can get high quality ones for hundred
 s of dollars, this one was 60 - 80 ish from memory). Unfortunately the device skipped across the records so badly they threw it out after ruining one of their records. Upon seeing it had installed audacity I advised them it would be cheaper to purchase an RCA to 3.5mm Stereo lead and just play it using the high quality record player they already own using the lead to the line in on their onboard sound card. They haven't had a chance to try this yet but I was curious to see what your experience was like. Regards,Jared Norris
