Try "Gramophone Pal" from 'WeLuvLPs' Software Ltd. It costs a bomb, but you get a free robotic arm that cranks the handle for you. |

I use Wave Repair to convert LP input to WAV and fix any scratches etc. There are millions of programs out there which will convert from WAV to MP3 -- leo |

Get yourself a microphone and something like Goldwave. plug the mic into your soundcard, place the mic near the gramophone's horn, and record the mic.s output using Goldwave. Not forgetting to wind the gramophone up before doing the recording, they tend to work better this way. Does he mean a gramophone, or something with some sort of electrical output? -- leo |

Phonograph usually is accepted as only a mechanical type in the UK. I was under the impression that a 'phonograph' was something that played wax-cylinders. Then I had a quick look at the *dictionary* definitions: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gramophone ....and one of the definitions says: "an antique record player; the sound of the vibrating needle is amplified acoustically." ... which is what I thought the OP meant. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=phonograph ....ah well we all learn something new every day. :-) -- Michael Turner Email (ROT13) |

Think that's a sort of hindsight definition. Think of radiogram. That was a common name well after acoustic gramophones were near history. Record player sort of came in with Dansette, etc. Meant a transportable (and cheap and nasty) gramophone in the days when all those sort of things needed mains. -- *This message has been ROT-13 encrypted twice for extra security * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Theoretically at least, you should be able to scan the grooves with a laser micrometer arrangement and make a computer model of your LP. Thats been done, although I dont recall the product ever reaching the marketplace... |

"This enabled us to develop a non-contact way to measure delicate records without the need for much operator intervention," says Vitaliy Fadeyev who developed the technique with colleague Carl Haber. "It also has the potential to digitally reassemble broken discs." [ .. ] "The researchers have shown that the technique can faithfully restore some extremely rare recordings to their former glory, including the 1950 recording of "Goodnight Irene" by Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter. The team have released two audio clips (Windows Audio File format) to highlight the difference between the recordings before and after the optical technique was applied." -- There's a couple of wavs to compare,1.59MB & 1.61MB. |
