Move Your Vinyl to CDs and iTunes

Sometimes you have a bunch of cool stuff on vinyl that never made it to CD, or you just don’t feel like buying it all over again. Or maybe your favorite artist hasn’t made it to iTunes (this is especially true of that obscure band you saw in college).

But never fear. Golden Records from NCH Software will record the music and even clean up the audio for you. The software even comes with an RCA to 3.5 mm jack converter. If you don’t want to shell out for the software, you can always just plug the record player into a computer that has iTunes –- but that requires you clean up the audio yourself, a tedious job at best (unless you really want to preserve the pops and such from the vinyl).
