I have quite a few recordings on vinyl that I would like to transfer to CD's using my computer
Any advice(and the cost) on buying one of those turntable vinyl machines that transfer vinyl to CD's Thanks |

If you already own a turntable and amplifier than you may not need any other equipment.
If there is an output on the amplifier, eg to feed a cassette recorder, simply use a lead (most likely phono to 3.5mm jack) to connect it to the LINE IN socket on your PC's soundcard. Then use something like the very good - and free - Audacity audio editor to record and tidy up the files. Then burn the resulting audio file to CD with whatever burning software you may already have (or even Windows Media Player if you have XP and a recent version of WMP) Audacity can be downloaded from... http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ |

I use audacity for recording my mums cassetes onto the pc and its great.
If you want to burn it to cd you will need a lame encoder to save audacity files to mp3. There are links to these on audacity website. |

As an alternative you could try a CD Recorder. You should be able to pick one up for the same price as one of those turntables. Better (much better) sound quality as well.

You do not need the Lame encoder if you plan to make audio CDs that can play on any CD player. Not all HiFi or car CD players can read an mp3 disk.

What burning software and what format do you use because I found that the only way I could get it onto cd was to use lame mp3 and then go through media player as media player wouldn't let me burn from .wav to cd.
Certainly Nero and Roxio burning software can do this As can Media Player - or at least ver 10 and 11, don't have any earlier versions to hand to check. As I said above just make sure you select the option to burn an audio CD as this converts the .wav files into the .cda files that an audio CD uses and generates the Table Of Contents correctly so that a standard car/HiFi player can read it. |

I would recommend the cdwav software (http://www.mymusictools.com/download/cdwav/) which is specifically designed for this and makes splitting into the tracks easy.
