3. LP Ripper

Converting your LPs, cassettes or tapes to CDs is a great way of storing and playing your favourite music. You can now listen to your LPs in the car, on the computer etc. - anywhere you have a CD player - and the sound quality does not deteriorate like it does with vinyl or tape.

LP Ripper is a Windows program that makes the task much easier and quicker. Just record each side of your LP as a single WAV file on your computer using a program like LP Recorder.

LP Ripper automatically splits the file into a separate WAV file for each track. You can then make a CD using LP Burner or your usual CD burning software.

Alternatively, LP Ripper can use a command-line MP3 Encoder to produce an MP3 file for each track ready to be used by iTunes or similar MP3 library software.
