I'd like to digitise a couple of LPs, and have the facility to do a
few more as and when. I'm looking to get a standalone unit as
lashing up the computer is inconvenient, plus I like the idea of
having the tracks on the device or portable media like an SD card.

Any recommendations please? I was thinking of maybe up to £200 new
or secondhand. This looks to be OK, but does more than I need:

Have a dig on eBay for a hi-fi type Sony minidisc recorder. Record you
disk, then take the recorder to your PC and record it using something
like Audacity.

Been doing it for years and it works.


Yep, could do - as mentioned down-thread, I'm not that sure about how
the compression works and whether it's lossless. But in any event
lugging the machine about would add to the inertia . . .

Alternatively get a cheap secondhand laptop and record the LP straight
onto that, then cut it up again with Audacity. That also works well,
perhaps better than the minidisc as it gives you the option of the
recording format.


Yes, I have a netbook that might do, and a USB soundcard - but I'd
rather go for a purpose built solution.

Thanks for suggestions though
