 rubschin: Do they transfer all the crackles and scratches as well? I ask 'cos we have a tunrtable but SWMBO wishes to transfer stuff to CD and I am a confirmed vinyl man.

you get Audacity Sound Editor software with it that you can use to remove any crackles etc, it also comes with a more basic sound editor

when I ordered it I was chuffed with Maplins, it arrived 2 days after I placed the order

I have one, the transfer process is a bit tedious and. as Berek wrote, good for a rainy day. You don't have to do the sound clean-up and it isn't perfect anyway.

I also saw recently an advert for a box that connects your own turntable to a PC and does the same job.

I was thinking of the 80's the other day, it brought tears to my eyes, it may have been Thatchers Britain but they were my salad years sad24:

Blimey .... you're only a bairn.

I love the fifties and sixties music which is why I need the house to my elderly self.
Not so much salad days .... more boiled cabbage but I do still have my ration card.sad24:



Errrrr ......... My eldest boy is 40 this year

Mrs S#2 delights in telling people that I got married to Mrs S#1 the same year that she (#2) joined the Brownies.

I hadn't adjusted the counterweight properly, thus lots of skipping. Rectified now.  cloud9:
