Rip LP's to Digital

You should look at some of the handheld recorders, like those from Tascam. They are generally used for portable recording using their built in mics, but they also have a line input. You just take line level outputs from your preamp. The entry level Tascam DR-05 is a good entry level one that goes up to 96 KHz sampling rate. It has a micro SD card that you can use for transferring the file to the PC.

Vinyl Studio is the way to go (imo) for breaking up the file into tracks, tagging them, and doing cleanup. It lets you do hum and hiss removal and will do click and pop removal.

There is a thread on CA where the poster ended up using the DR-05 and Vinyl Studio and he is quite happy with it.

Inexpensive Vinyl Ripping

Sweetwaters is a good place to look at multiple inexpensive A to D converters.

Don't. The time spent and the quality of the sound, no matter what the converter and software, will disappoint. The conversion process is time intensive, better you just buy used Cd's of your favorite albums, and spend time just enjoying the music, not the gear.

Buconero, after trying LP conversion the used CD approach is what i have taken. Download a used CD copy on my computer used the CD in my car, or better yet, make playlists and burn them for my car. Far less time consuming.

Yes there are opinions on both sides of the fence on this.
Some say ripping an LP to software allows one to eliminate pops, clicks, hum and preserve dynamics not heard on a CD because of compression etc. while others say a remastered CD of old material will outperform an lP transfer.

The problem is that some LP's I have were never released on CD.

Thank you for the suggestions so far.

I have a box made by Xitel that goes from tape out to usb.
It comes with software.

There are probably others.
