Thread Name: A record question?
Subject: RE: A record question?
Idleness, Bob that's why you make then into CDs. Then you only get up to change them every 40 minutes instead of every 20 minutes. Or even 75 minutes if you don't copy a couple of your least favourite numbers. And you can play them in the car, or the shed, or anywhere.
You do have some decisions to make, though.

If you have 2 LPs by the same artist, do you make two or one CD, dumping as suggested above? (75-80mins of one artist on a recording is a long time, much longer than the same length of time at a gig.) If you have 3 LPs by them, do you split one of them and make 2 CDs.

Do you separate out the numbers like on a CD, or just record the lot like you did when you taped? Easier to record without breaks, pausing the digitising program whilst you turn over the LP.

If you have compilation records, do you tag bits of them onto your new CDs, filling up some of that empty space, or do you add them all together.
I haven't made anything like all the mistakes that are possible yet, but those are three that I have made.
