please could you recommend me a software which is able to capture a
music from an LP being played on a gramophone and convert it into
MP3's?

Theoretically at least, you should be able to scan the grooves with a
laser micrometer arrangement and make a computer model of your LP.
You could then process that map to extract the wav content of the
sound.

Your biggest problem might be in choosing an encoder to convert the
wav to mp3.

Interesting idea...has anyone actually accomplished this?

Yes...

The ELP Laser Turntable (laser gramophone ;-) ).

That's the one. But the technology can't cope well with the usual
vinyl imperfections.
What I would like to do is scan the groove to a CAD image. Correct
that image manually, and then convert the image to wav. Naturally,
when I say manually, I mean with a good suite of editing tools.


Philips makes a portable MP3 player that records using audio input
cables and has a bulit in microphone (the HDD120). Just plug it in and
record. Then transfer to your computer, if you like (PC only). Here's
the link to amazon.com:
