Tim Buckley\'s Nine LPs 1966-74 torrent

Notes on converting the Tim Buckley LPs.

Converting was casual.
I did nothing to get rid of pops which are very few.
I did not label the tracks except by album portions.
You will have roughly the LP experience
which I?ve had for the 35years or so since I bought them.

Lots of included printed materials make it convenient to know what?s going on ?
AMG album descriptions, track listings with times, complete lyric sheets,
pictures of Tim, and essays by his lead guitarist Lee Underwood.

I have an Ion USB turntable, costing $100 and change, plugged into my computer.
I use a cloth diaper to wipe off the LP.
I use FREE Audacity downloaded software.

I export as wav from Audacity,
since Audacity apparently does not have an mp3 license.
I do not save in Audacity.

I convert from wave to 256kps mp3 using
FREE ?Switch? by NCH Swift Sound.
I delete the wav files.

I have thousands of LPs, as well as CDs.
I enjoy hearing them again while they are converting
and while I am using the computer to do other things at the same time.

I have a 931GB Western Digital ?My Book? external hard drive for archiving,
and a 320GB Western Digital ?Passport? pocket USB plug-and-play hard drive
for using, sharing, and collecting, without need for outside power.

I highly recommend all of this equipment and software.

What I would like, and do not have,
because amazingly it does not seem to exist,
is a way to plug and play my external hard drives
through an audio or DVD system
without going through a full-feature computer.

My pocket drive should be able to bury i-scams and existing mp3 players.
Western Digital is missing a great bet here.

Let me know if there is something you want me to do better.
