 It's a nostalgic reminder of your youth, and with far better sound quality than many like to admit, but let's be honest here. Your old vinyl record collection isn't exactly going to win any awards for convenience. That's why you need to convert it into a more iPod-friendly digital format, just as soon as you can, and VinylStudio is the perfect tool to help.
If you're not sure how to connect your turntable and PC, for instance, then reading the program documentation will provide some helpful clues. It explains what to look for on your record deck, the cable you're likely to need (and where to buy it), good testing procedures, and more.
Once everything's connected and working, VinylStudio is ready to start recording your albums. Each one is recorded in a single block, but a simple editor lets you break it up into individual tracks. And in many cases the program can look up the track names from Amazon's catalogue, although as these are generally for CDs rather than vinyl albums, you might the occasional error.
After naming your tracks they can be exported in a variety of ways. Saving them as uncompressed WAV files, say, means there will be no loss of quality, useful if you're working on them later. But you can also save them directly in the far more convenient MP3 format. And the program can even directly copy tracks to most MP3 players, use them to create audio or MP3 CDs, even Windows Media Player playlists, making it one of the most complete vinyl transfer solutions around.
