The pithy ruminations from Art Alexion on 
<[PLUG] turntable to CD> were:

=> then burning to CD?  Doesn't need to be a single package; one for each
=> task is fine.

I've had this discussion a couple of times, and here are some of the answers 
I've gotten:

Among other things, it's supposed to automatically recognize tracks and save 
songs as individual files.
--------------------------------
One person reported their steps as:

1/ Digitised with Krecord.  [One of its nice features is that it won't 
start recording until it sees a signal - amplitude user adjustable - such 
as happens when the stylus drops onto the LP!]

2/ GWC - gnome wave cleaner.  Wow!  It really cleans up LPs.  It won't work 
miracles,  but for most of my LPs it removed all the clicks and plops,  
and with a bit more work, removes surface noise too.

3/ GWC detects tracks (actually x seconds of silence; x is adjustable) and 
will write out a table of contents file which can include track names, 
etc.   This file is usable by cdrdao to create an audio CD.


Step 2 can be very time consuming - I allowed a couple of hours per LP for 
those that I really cared about.  Mostly it's listening for errors missed 
by the clean up operations.   And my LPs are mostly in excellent 
condition.
-------------------------------------

Also check out gramofile (gramophile?).

I haven't tried any of these. One day I'll finally unpack my vinyl and 
turntable and try it myself, so I'm interested in hearing what works for you.

Thanks,

Mark
