You digitised your entire record collection? IMO it's not economical to
digitise vinyl in DIY as long as the same albums are available on CD
commercially. You'll spend 2 hours minimum recording, post processing
and burning the tracks of a single album, and that is not counting the
time for scanning the artwork. Unless you value or own free time very
low, just buying the same album on CD is much more cost effective.
It might be more cost effective to buy CDs, but doing it yourself doesn't
involve financial outlay. I have 300+ LPs in the loft. To replace them
with CD would cost a lot of money which, since I live on a pension, isn't a
practical proposition. My time only costs me if by digitising a CD I have
to pay someone else to do another job that I could do myself. And in any
case, I can do other things when the LP is playing, I don't need to monitor
it all the time.
