Copying Vinyl to CDs Using RISC OS

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 13th Feb 2006 21:38 UTC

"Although vinyl threatens every other year to be the new hip in-thing with all the cool kids on the streets, there's still a wealth of age old audio joy locked away in collections of deteriorating records littering lofts and cupboards everywhere. Chris Johnson talks us through how he preserves his LPs onto CD using RISC OS."

RISC OS...

Nice to see that RISC OS can do this. Not wanting to sound like a troll, but this was possible since years ago on PC and Mac...

Since the SoundBlaster 16 I would say...

I remember doing that with my old vinyl, I did not even have a CD burner at the time.

I imagine there being Amiga's with a line-in as well, although someone would have to confirm this. I just checked my Atari Mega STE, it didn't have one :-)

It would have been a cooler story if he was backing up RISC OS on to vinyl

Gramofile

There's a nice command line utility called gramofile which copies vinyl records to cd. It automaticly splits the input to tracks and removes hiss, noise and cracks.

I've been thinking about making a GUI version of the tool (in the fashion of Sound Juicer), but so far haven't had the time.

Thanks for the pointer. There are now a bunch of mp3 players that can record LP (amongst other things). But the gramofile utility sounds really interesting.
