I have quite a large vinyl record collection and am trying to find out if there is any way that I can convert it to MP3 files or some other electronic media so that I can put it all on my itunes ? I have some stuff that you just cant get nowadays and I want to listen to it again. |

USB turntable works out cheaper than paying someone to digitise them for you if you've got lots of vinyl. Or if you've got a decent sound recording package you could get an external analogue to digital soundcard and record them in real time. I would flac them initially rather than mp3 so you have a digital version that maintains more of the vinyl quality and then do mp3 conversions afterwards. That way you get the best of both worlds. |

I wouldn't bother.
Analogue will always sound superior to digital. MP3 and other formats cut so much off the top and bottom of the waveform it's ridiculous.
I understand it's a convenience thing but vinyl will always sound best... |

Just don't underestimate the amount of time it would take .... do some quick sums first, you may be surprised! 
Much better option is to buy a decent turntable/set up. You won't have the portability, but you will be hearing them as they should be heard! |
