music from an LP being played on a gramophone and convert it into
MP3's?

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

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.

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

Does he mean a gramophone, or something with some sort of electrical
output?

A gramophone plays records. Can be either mechanical or electronic.
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. :-)

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.

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.

Thats been done, although I dont recall the product ever reaching the
marketplace...
