I've ripped several slabs of old vinyl and a few cassettes as well. Much of it albums my father bought in the 50s and 60s -- i.e. no heavy metal.
My one bit of advice to anyone is to use a good quality turntable, not a modern one with the digitizer built in. Even more important than a good stylus is accurate speed - cheap turntables don't play at the correct speed and it can be noticable in the result. The turntable I use is a Technics I bought in the 80s.
A device like this : http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/u-record[^] can be connected to a number of sources for increased utility. I use Audacity software to record and process the tracks.

A few hours ago I lost my dear friend Nalini to cancer. Nalini was a great mom, wife, friend and scholar, and a fighter to the end. Nalini is the bravest person I have ever known. I miss her smile, her wicked sense of humor, and her heart of gold.

I'm sorry to hear that - she sounds like a wonderful person.
Remember, she is not gone while you still remember her. My sincere condolences - it's never easy to lose a close friend, and it doesn't get noticeably easier each time.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Thanks, OG. She's an amazing lady[^].

Agreed. I feel the body is but a vehicle for the soul - the body breaks down, but the soul lingers on.

Thanks, Walt. Indeed she did. The day before she relapsed (almost exactly a year ago), she went ahead with her plans to host a Thanksgiving meal for a group of her university students who were unable to go home for the break. She's set the bar high.

I've done that sort of thing in the past, both for soldiers stationed nearby who had no family around for Thanksgiving and Christmas and for some of the foreign students here at UT, but I wasn't battling a relapse of anything. It's definitely rewarding and appreciated at the same time - the perfect definition of a win-win situation.
I've found the best way to keep the memories of loved ones alive is to pay their thoughtfulness forward for them.

Indeed. I know she'd want that.

I also lost a dear friend to cancer this summer and as I posted on a tribute photo; "Life goes on but to a different beat".
I'm sure she was a special person. R.I.P.

Thanks, Mike. I remember your post. Friendships mean more to me today than ever before.

My grandmother who lived to be 100 told me one time that one of the worst parts of getting old was you lose all your friends. What's scarey is it's starting to happen to me!

I stand to lose a brother shortly, my condolences. I plan to set aside the good memories and cherish them.
