Usually when I digitize LPs it's to CD (via intermediary .wav files) rather than mp3. I hook up my laptop to the receiver and digitize the analog stream. From there it's just messing with formats. If you want to do LP-to-mp3 conversion on a massive scale (and somehow I sense that in your question), you can buy an "<a href="http://www.nextag.com/mp3-turntable/search-html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">mp3 turntable</a>" that you hook up to your computer via USB. It looks pretty easy. I think I read that the software recognizes the gaps and automatically creates a separate file for each track. I also have a lot of mp3s that are live performances of stuff I own on LP or CD. I don't consider those dupes (let alone trips). Lots of George Szell---whatta guy! Some say he was a blackguard. Or at least a bastard. It's no coincidence that the bad guy in <em>Marathon Man</em> is named Dr. Szell. At any rate, the best conductor I've ever heard.

You are hereby no longer a blackguard. So how do you get LPs to .MP3? Cool. You are hereby no longer a blackguard. So how do you get LPs to .MP3?
