What is my best bet for getting some LPs digitised ?

Like most foolsxxxx people I got rid of my turntable some years ago.

Interesting question, to which the answer involves more questions:-

How many albums do you want digitised?


Not many, probably 20-30


Can the albums be purchased on CD?


Haven't checked them all, but there are some that definitely will not.

If you only have one or two albums to convert, probably the cheapest
solution is to find a friendly audiophile to do it for you. Or, if the
albums you want converting are still available on CD, then just buy
the CDs, or get them from your local Public Library and copy them.
Our Public Library in Suffolk will get CDs in to order if they have
them at any of their branches. It may take a few months, but it works.

If you have lots of albums to convert, probably the cheapest option
is to buy a decent turntable. Ebay has lots available. You can then
keep it or sell it again as you wish. If you prefer to buy new, one
of the cheaper Pro-Ject seem to be good value.

Hope this helps.


Yes, thanks. Useful suggestions. I hadn't thought of the library and I
haven't done an exhaustive search to see which ones might be available on
CD. I was just trying to get ideas from here before I made any decisions.
