Hi Listers, I have just rejoined the list after a break I am trying to find a way to convert 78 rpm and 33 rpm recorded music to a CD format .Can anybody help . Regards Roy Nicholas in Queensland Aussie

Roy, There are many, many different ways to do this. The main questions are what hardware and type of record player you have. Do you have a pre-amp? An amp? What sound card do you have (and what type of inputs does it have?)? There are many questions that you need to answer first. Do a Google search on converting vinyl to digital and you'll find answers to what is needed and how to go about it.

I too have a "conversion" question (of which Roy's post reminded me). I have several floppies from my word processor which I would like to convert so I can put the material on my computer. Is there any way of doing that?? Thanks.

Here's some info I had saved.......don't remember where I got it from. I hope it helps. Doris Turn tapes and records into CDs Q. I've got a bunch of tapes and records that I'd like to put on CD. Can you walk me through the process? Connect your tape or record player to your sound card's mic terminal with a 1/8" mini jack. If you're unsure where to look, check your computer's user manual. Open the Volume Control. Click Start>All Programs (or Programs)>Accessories>Entertainment> Volume Control. Click Options>Properties. Click Recording, under Adjust Volume for. Ensure Microphone has a check mark next to it. Click OK. Make sure the Select box under Microphone is checked. Next, you'll need software to convert the analog music (your tape or record) into digital form to place on CD. Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a great free program. Install and open Audacity. Click the record button (it's the red circle) and start playing your record or tape. You can do this one of two ways. You can record each side of the tape or record into one big file and break up the tracks later. Or, you can record each song as an individual file. I find it much easier to record each individual song as a file. After you record a song, stop the tape or record and hit the stop button in Audacity. Click File>Export as WAV. Name your song file. Continue until you have recorded each song from the tape or record. Since there are silent spots and probably some pops and hisses, you'll want to clean up and edit the .WAV files. Audacity has a noise removal effect. It also allows you to edit unwanted breaks and more. If you want more creative audio effects and editing techniques, Audacity has online tutorials and a downloadable manual. Once you have cleaned up all of your files, they're ready to burn to CD. Windows XP has built-in software that allows you to burn files onto a CD. There is also a free program called burn4free (http://www.burn4free.com/). Or, use the software that came with your CD burner. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roy Nicholas To: GEN-COMP-TIPS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 4:27 PM Subject: [Gen-Comp-Tips] Music Conversions Hi Listers, I have just rejoined the list after a break I am trying to find a way to convert 78 rpm and 33 rpm recorded music to a CD format .Can anybody help .
