I have a huge collection of music form the 40s, 50s and
early 60s on vinyl. I have looked for quite awhile for an
economical method for transferring them to CD. I finally
bought a USB turntable which will hook up directly to my
laptop, record the LP to my harddisk, allow me to edit pops
and crackles then burn to CD. I have made copies of six of
my collection so far, and WHEEE!!! It works great and I
love listening to my old favorites again. I have a six disk
changer in my car and a five disk changer in the house, I
need lots of CDs. ;-)

Oh very cool!!! My DMIL just got one of those recently too. She loves it.
And has been working (in her spare time....which means it will take years
lol) on converting her collection too.

One thing to think about. If your CD players will support MP3 format, you
can put a lot more MP3s on one disk than you can wave files. The CD player
in my car will play MP3s. So I made some travel music disks. I could put
about 10 albums on each one. I did one of blues, I did one of rock, I did
one of this and another of that. ;) Our music collection is eclectic to
say the least. I keep those kind of CDs in the car. That way I don't have
originals in there...y'know in case the car comes up missing. I suppose
that says a lot about me, I know I could replace the car (full coverage)
but it would really chap my buns to have to replace 10 or 12 of my favorite
CDs that were in it. lol

Have fun with your project!!!
