I've actually been buying new cds or purchasing iTunes replacements for 
many of my LPs.  But, a good number of my LPs were never pressed to cds 
and/or not available on iTunes.   Years back, I was big on purchasing 
small local bands vinyl, thus you simply can't find their stuff anywhere 
else.  I've had pretty good luck converting some of them using my 35 
year old turntable, amp pluging in the aux out to my sound card.
