[dba-Tech] Converting LPs into digital audio

Steve,
If you do a search in the dba-tech archives of "vinyl" you'll find some
posts on this. I believe Arthur Fuller was successful in doing this but
I don't know what the process was.  Actually, I would like to transfer a
bunch of LPs too.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Converting LPs into digital audio

Dear Group,

A few years ago I transferred two LPs worth of Whamco ads to .WAV files
using GoldWave and my old 133 MHz laptop and a Radio Shack patch cable
(mini plug to RCA pin jack). I tried to get a third LP to transfer but I
had trouble with distortion in my system somewhere.

Have any of you converted LPs to WAV or MP3 or Windows Media? I went an
extra step with the Whamco ads to convert them to Real Audio files, but
I'd like to make them available on-line in both Real and Windows Media
formats. Any suggestions for doing this process all over again from LP
to digital?

By the way, you can hear what I'm talking about here:
http://www.swerbach.com/id25.htm . WHAMCO was the name given to a spoof
mega-conglomerate that had products in just about every consumer
category you could think of. The ads were produced by a popular Denver
morning radio team back in the late 70s/early 80s.
