Today I borrowed an album converter from work that allows me to transfer old albums to CDs. I sent the girls to the basement to retrieve the few albums that DH and I have saved through the years. Of course my first choices were my Shaun Cassidy albums, but as I was digging around I found several more that I can't wait to put on a CD. Air Supply, The Best of Bread, a few America and Chicago that I don't have on my ipod...and an album that was put out by Cricket magazine in the mid 1970's that I can't wait to hear again! So, if you had the chance, what would you transfer to CD?

Out of what you have or just anything?

Tell me how well the turntable works, will you? I was going to get one, but it was out of stock, and then I wasn't sure it was worth it. I used to make Real Audio files from records and eight-tracks, before MP3's, well, really existed, and would choose things that hadn't made it to CD, or odd things I'd found in Goodwill. Sort of like Frank's Vinyl Museum: The Internet Home of Weird Records Actually, I had the parakeet training record.

Most of my old favorites are available in CD now. But I think I would transfer some of my Carpenter's albums the soundtrack for Car Wash & Thank God It's Friday

So far it's worked really well..I'm not sure I'd pay $280 for one just to get a few cds, so I'm grateful that I could just borrow it...
The Cricket magazine album got me thinking...anybody remember anything really obscure that is hard to find on CD?

I was thinking my old teeny bopper albums, like the Partridge Family or Donny Osmond, The Monkees etc, but I just looked on iTunes and I can download them! Hell, I may even just do that! Their entire albums are $10 each. You might want to check out iTunes before you buy the machine. You'll get a flawless cut of music. I know my old vinyl albums are not even close to flawless. You can also burn a CD from what you buy on iTunes.....and it's Legal

Good point. When I did try making MP3's from vinyl, they didn't sound so good, but there wasn't so much audio correction software then. I like Amazon better for MP3's than iTunes, though, because they don't have copy protection, so I can have them on both our computers if I want.

A few years ago, some really obscure records were released on CD -- just recordings of a primary school choir. The effect was somewhere between lovely and eerie. That sort of thing would be worth transferring. The Langley Schools Music Project: "INNOCENCE AND DESPAIR" if you're curious.

I loved my album from the Ozark Mountain Daredevils -- "Chicken Train" There's no way I will ever find that one on CD.

I had a bunch of Ronco albums back in the day.....I remember one of them had the song "Undercover Angel" and I played it until I wore it out....

Just a heads up. When you buy from iTunes you can license up to 5 computers for the download.
