I have an enormous collection of vinyl.


I'd really love to digitize everything and make it easier to listen to on the go, not to mention reduce the amount of music hardware (OK, stereo equipment) I have around the house. But it's so complicated to manage the whole thing, what with connecting the stereo and the turntable to the computer, recording the sounds on the computer, editing, cleaning up the transient noise, burning to CD, and converting to MP3s. Still, I miss more than a few of those recordings.

After all that ruminating I've been doing, I was surprised to learn that a colleague of mine actually digitizes records professionally as a second job. It's $15 per disk! So maybe I'll keep dreaming of doing it myself?

(edit: Done! As of April, 2013.)
