Turn LPs and cassettes into digital media files
By John Woram
(May 20, 2005)
Estimated time required:
30 minutes for setup, plus an hour for each album or tape
Estimated cost: $80 and up

Step 1:
Getting started
Let's play a word-association game. If we say "Ozzy Osbourne" and you
say "Black Sabbath," chances are there's a crateful of treasured vinyl
somewhere among your possessions. Those LPs may be classics to you,
but they're out of place in today's CD- and MP3-driven world. No need
to freak out, though--just dig out the old bandanna, turn on the lava
lamp, and fire up some incense. We're transporting yesterday's albums
and cassette tapes into the digital age.
