Extend the life of LPs and Cassettes

When my grandmother passed away, my parents inherited a huge library of LP recordings on vinyl. Many of these albums were never released on cassette or CD, so the music is only available if you have a record player handy. I don't know if you've ever tried playing a record in your car (I have), but you might notice that the music skips frequently and you run the risk of scratching the record. Trying to go for a jog with a record player doesn't work well either. If you have a record collection of any size, I guarantee it contains PRICELESS MUSIC because many great albums have never been re-released on CD. And if you ever scratch a record, forget about replacing it, you just can't find this stuff any more.

Your tutorial on cassette to digital transformation was the best buy I ever made on Internet. Alternatives to copying some of my old audio files involved expensive hardware, clumsy software and impenetrable instructions. Your solution is a model of clarity and simplicity. Thank you! - Mike

Which software should I choose?

The most frequently asked question I get is which software works best? I walk through six different software choices, each with their own strengths.

I currently use Adobe Audition for all my audio editing needs. It includes features designed for recording live music, a comprehensive loop library with more samples than the often discussed Garage Band software from Apple, and some of the best noise reduction available. At $299, I realize Audition is out of the price range many people are interested in spending.

Two other great alternatives are Audacity and Spin It Again:
