So spend the money on a nice turntable, as Cameron points out, if you take
good care of the LP's, they'll outlast the CD-R's. Plus they'll sound
better and you won't waste all that time transferring them. The only reason
I see to transfer vinyl is if you want to play it in a CD player in your
car, or put it on your iPod.
On the low end, take a look at a Music Hall turntable, or for a bit more
check out Rega. Trust me, a good turntable is well worth the money, and
they really aren't that hard to find. Vinyl sales are increasing while CD
sales are going down.

Please, if you know a source of good stuff like this
let us know.
My wife's got a ton of LP's that haven't come out on CD... and they never
will.
Kind of be nice to play them instead of just collecting them.
