Red Wine Nights

[marathondan]

There are USB tape decks around now, but I just use a lead from the earphone socket of a tape deck to the mic socket of the PC. I bought the good value RIP Vinyl which does the job of splitting the tracks for you. Or you could use free software such as Audacity and do the track splitting manually.

Any time you get a period of silence in a track, RIP Vinyl gets it wrong and you have to post-edit manually (MLCM's prog-tastic playlist above would be a nightmare). Live albums are similarly problematic. But it does 90% of the work for you, so it's worthwhile I think.

Then you just have the joy of entering all the track info - which can be done directly in Windows Media Player etc.
