Well quite. The only slight faff for me was splitting and naming
tracks so the tags played with servers. I haven't done it for a
while, but I did find some software that split the tracks, and some
other that named them. Sometimes the naming software needed a hint or
2 - album, artist or some-such.


Consider Stienberg Clean. It is very simple to use - you simply play
the whole LP side into it then go along the graphic of the music and
place a marker where a track ends and press a button - bingo all the
tracks seperated.

Even sox can be used to automate snipping into 'tracks' if you wish.

It will also remove clicks quite effectively, and can be made to fade
up and down at start and end of tracks as you prefer.

I'm personally wary of 'automated' declicking. Indeed, I find Audacity's
'repair' much more useful than its 'de-click'.


Per Jim's query about the deterioration of my LPs, it sounds like a
sytlus clogged with muck - distorted and level variant. Mind you that
is using mt AT90E MC cartridge the state of the stylus of which I know
not. ISTR that for the last LPs I transferred I used my M75EDII and
that worked OK - then.

I'd be inclined to test the stylus. I haven't encountered the effect you
describe - so far as I know, anyway. I'm still using my old V15 styli.
Fingers crossed they continue to survive!
