[vox-tech] Ripping Vinyl LPs

[Richard Harke]

I'm not sure what the sound bridge is needed for. I have an Ion turntable
and have
used it to rip LP's. My only problem was that the name audaciy stuck on the
input
choice wasn't clear and left me floundering for a while. Once I realized the
input
to select, it worked just fine. I ran the clean up function that was
recommended
but I couldn't really tell the difference. Finding the breaks between tracks
was a little
work as they did not stand out on the visual. It was worthwhile though as it
made it easy to write the result to CD as separate tracks.
