Is it possible to record vinyl recordings on to a CD?

Answer 1

Yes it is. If your recordplayer has an audio out feature you can hook into the audio in on your cd player and record it. Or if there is an headphone jack on your record player that can be plugged into your audiou in on your cd burner. Just make sure you have an audio in on the burner

Answer 2

Yes it is, as it is for cassettes too.
There are a few free apps out there that will do it, so a google for 'free audio tools' and a few hours filtering out will find some there.

I use Nero (because it came installed, wasn't that bad, and was cheap to upgrade).

(Ahead) Nero has a tool called Nero SoundTrax which has a wizzard for transferring from both Cassette and Vinyl.

You basically hook up your Record deck to your audio in of your PC.
SoundTrax will record the whole disk and then try and split each individual track into a seperate CD track.

The most boring part is that it takes 60 minutes to copy a 60minute LP, and then the time it takes to fiddle with it, and then burn it etc etc. But at least using Nero SoundTrax it's very easy process to follow.

Answer 3

Yes it is. It needn't be too hard either.
You need:
A PC
A record player with the red and white output cables
An adaptor to accept these cables and input into the line in socket of your sound card.
Suitable software.

Speak to the shop assistants somewhere like Maplin or Tandy to get the right cables.

The software I use is called Audacity. It is a free to download piece of shareware and is very easy to use. Do a websearch and you will find it. It enables you to record the LP and clean it up of any hiss or crackles. This software will even allow you to record old 78 RPM records on a modern turntable at 45RPM and then speed them up.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Yes. Aside from some component equipment that can be bought specifically for this purpose, you can do it with your PC. I downloaded Sound Recorder software from the Net that can make a large .WAV file (much larger than the few seconds Windows own program allows). You jack your phono output into the Line Input of your soundcard and use Sound Recorder to create the .WAV. Most CD burning software will then convert your .WAV into audio tracks while you burn the audio CD.

Painful and tedious, but it works.

Answer 5

I have a philips cd recorder that connects to my hi-fi through my amplifier.
I have been steadily going through my record collection putting them all on to cd, I have far too many to buy so it was better for me to get the recorder and do it myself but if you do not have a lot that you want to convert to cd you are just as well buying the individual albums.

Answer 6

Yes, first thing you need is a computer, then you need a turntable. Then buy a Creative sound blaster from Argus for £40 this comes with all the soft ware and instructions, and bobs your uncle!! You can buy a turn table with a usb the plugs directly in a pc but these cost around £120.

Answer 7

You can now buy a record deck that has a usb jack no other equipment needed and comes complete with software for about £120 I have seen them in the sunday suplements and on ebay. Try typing "usb record deck" in google to find out more.

Answer 8

Yes, if you have a record player, an input to your soundcard, software such as Cool Edit, and some patience.

If you connect the line-outs of your record player to your soundcard and play the record, you can record it and edit it with the audio software. You can even break it into tracks.

I used to do this to "back-up" my eight track recordings, because you don't want to be accused of copying music.

There's some free software on Download.com you can download (such as Smart PC Recorder)

Answer 9

Yes.
I have an mp3 of "So What" by the "Anti-Nowhere League" that my brother copied off a 45rpm single and the "B-side", "Streets of London" too.
