This process continued through 2011, and  I finally finished around November. Here's a quick video tour of the digitized LPs:

So wonderful to hear all of these old records again!

The original goal is preserved below.

I've got about 500 genuine, long-playing vinyl record albums kicking around - most of them mine, some handed down from my parents and grandparents. But they're not getting heard, and it's time to digitize them all so they can be part of my life again. 

I'm using this guide: 

The Compleat Guide To Digitizing Your LP Collection

 

I'm getting about 10 records a week done, so expect the project to take about a year.

I am having this problem, as well. Have about 300 which I inherited from my mother and brother-in-law. Maybe you'll be the inspiration I need...

By the way, how are you creating text links in your posts? I tried html 'a href' linking, to no avail.

Thanks!

Nevermind, I solved it ;) Sorry for the trouble!

Emily, go for it! Very satisfying process, and so good to get all of these old records back into regular rotation.
