Old LP's and records

[Ferdinand Lehnard]

Hi Jared,

it's from the catch-of-the day. The quality is so far o. k.. It's
running fine and to create .ogg files good enough. I can' t say it's
jumping, yet! May in your case it's the record what is jumping. I have
two of those, they look like stormy sea. They also jump on my high end
turntable.

Of course for a price of $ 69 you can not expect too much, but I am
already happy to found a way to get my old records archived.

regards
Ferdinand

        Hi mates,
        
        I just would like to inform you that ALDI (NSW) had last week a
        USB turntable (record player) in their shops which is usable to
        copy your old records onto CD. 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,

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 hundreds 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
