Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified

Posted by timothy on from the one-groove-per-side dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a short article at linmagau.org John Murray brings Gramofile to our attention, just the thing to help you bring all those LPs in the cupboard into your MP3 collection. One more example of the analog hole in action, I guess ;)" It may not be CEDAR, but it sounds like a lot of utility for a 76kB program.

    yeah, the 'warmth' that the audiophiles talk about is the inability to reproduce the correct stuff, vinyl tends to make some of the high freqs disappear, much like running the sound thru a lowpass filter.
    vinyl is lossy, much like mp3.. u pretty much can't store analog sound in a lossless medium.
    while vinyl can sound better (in the same way that pressing the loudness button on my amp makes it sound better) than digital, when talking about quality being how acurate to the original it is then digital wins.

    and just how would a vinyl do a square wave?
