Because of the LP format's inherent technical failings, digitizing LPs

audio interfaces that comes with most motherboards.

In principle it is slightly complicated because of the possibility of
unpredictably high peaks. But in practice this doesn't seem a problem in my
experience and 16bit samples should be fine if you allow for enough
headroom when setting the gain.


The unexpectedly high peaks are invariably ticks and scratches, and it
really doesn't matter if they overload - they need removing anyway.
