I'm a little late to the discussion, but I noticed something missing
that's very important. You will need a receiver with a phone input
or a pre-amp specifically designed for a turntable. The grooves on
the record has the low frequencies attenuated, so the preamp has to
be biased to amplify the lower frequencies more. So even if the
phono level matched the mic level, it would sound tinny and lack any
bass.<br>

Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Thanks to Rich Faulkner, Geoffrey Myers, Scott Castaline, and
others
for comments on this topic. I'm just replying to all at once,
even
though I'm quoting Rich. I added CD ripping to the subject line.<br>
<br>
I really don't know if I'll get around to this, but it's an
interesting
discussion. I figured the turntable puts out phono level if
there's no
preamp. That's why I figured mic in might work.<br>
<br>
I see what you mean about mastering.<br>
<br>
So, I suppose I should use something like FLAC for the original
capture
and then downsample to 320 Kbps or maybe 192 Kbps MP3 or OGG for
the
portable device. I've used the LAME encoder before on Windows. I
don't remember what I used to rip my CD's. I think it was an old
version of WinAmp. I only ever got them done 56 Kbps or 128 Kbps
for
some.<br>
<br>
So, hypothetically, what could I use to rip an entire album in a
batch,
separate tracks into separate files, apply pop and click filters,
save
to FLAC (or something else), then transcode to MP3 or OGG?<br>
<br>
I'd like to push 1 button then walk away for an hour and come back
and
have it done. Then I'd just have to name the titles. I'd like to
do
the same thing with CD's except the pop and click filter doesn't
apply. With CD's, it would be nice if the titles would
automatically
be looked up on the internet.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<br>

Line out to mic in == crunchy audio stuff (very likely)<br>
<br>
Some inputs will sense if a mic or line level input (if I recall
right)
but that will depend on the card. Since you're re-mastering
audio you
should plan to do it the "right" way from the beginning. <br>
<br>
Are you planning to remaster to Linux? Codecs? Think Lossless
and
down sample from there for portable tunes. Always remaster to
highest
quality (IMHO) and down sample from there. Disk space is cheap
these
days so horde bits all you want I say! Whatever you choose for
a
format you'll need a good transcoder to convert to lossy formats
for
listening on the go. Again, depends on the platform (and I know
you
drive Windows as much as you do Linux if not more). <br>
<br>
Outlets like XM Satellite Radio use 384K for audio while on our
XP
based workstation we use 380K with dBPowerAmp. (In this case
required
due to the broadcast audio cards we use for this system -
Windows only
drivers). <br>
<br>
Enjoy ripping audio! Pops, clicks-n-all!!!<br>
