Are you converting your Vinyl LPs to CDs or MP3 Files?
You have probably discovered how time-consuming it is, trying to record each track
as separate WAV files to store on a CD or to encode as separate MP3 files. LP Ripper
makes the task much easier.
Using recording software (e.g. LP Recorder) just record each side of your LP as
a single WAV file on your computer. LP Ripper automatically splits the file into
a separate WAV file for each track ready to write to a recordable audio CD.
Alternatively, an optional encoder can be used to produce an MP3, WMA or AAC file for
each track. These are compressed files, allowing you to store the equivalent of
a dozen or so LPs on a single CD playable on a computer, an iPod or similar special-purpose
MP3 player.
How does LP Ripper work?
LP Ripper calculates the length of each track by detecting the gap between tracks
and displays a track listing showing the time of each track. You can then select
which track(s) you want to save as separate WAV, MP3 or WMA files.
Some LPs have little or no gaps between tracks; others have long quiet sections
that could be mistaken for a gap. You can change the times that it has calculated
or trim the tracks visually using the coarse / fine waveform display. Alternatively,
LP Ripper will split the recording into a number of equal-length tracks for you.
Advanced Features
You will also need software for recording standard uncompressed WAV files. If you
do not already have a suitable program
LP Recorder, which has been specifically designed with features to suit recording
LPs is also available from CFB Software.
If you want to create compressed MP3, WMA or AAC files you will also need a third-party
command-line encoder. Either use Google or a similar search engine to search for
e.g. command-line MP3 encoder or check the LP Ripper links page
at the CFB Software website for any latest information.
