rescued!
For my birthday, Susan, along with input from [info]noizehole, got me a cool little preamp which will let me rip my vinyl and tapes. I got started with it today. Combined with Audacity, ripping albums is a snap.

I got two old Glass Eye albums done today, which makes me very happy. This also means that I'll finally be able to preserve their old demo tape, which must be on the verge of death by now given how much I played it and how old it is. I'll also be able to get a bunch of old out of print stuff and stuff that was only ever released on tape into my music library. What a great present.

Well, so far, it's awesome. It was super easy to get it set up and recording albums. It's a more manual process than ripping CDs, but it's really not too bad. Audacity has a pretty good tutorial on their website on how to record vinyl. I pretty much followed that, and a couple hours later had mp3 versions of my albums.
