anyone going to capture this for us "distance impaired" folk?  i have a
project due and am currently pulling 16 hour days.

> This presentation will demonstrate the use of free tools to 
> capture the
> sound of LP albums to hard drive, and the subsequent processing into
> individual songs suitable for burning to CD.  The splitting of each
> side into tracks and the declicking of tracks will be covered, plus
> creating a makefile to painlessly encode the tracks (with title
> details) to ogg or mp3 format.  Also included will be a demonstration
> of a new graphical tool which allows noise reduction on selected
> portions of tracks, plus an interesting CD label printing tool.
