How Do You Convert Vinyl Records To CD?
Converting your vinyl record collection into CDs can be a time-consuming process, but is a better alternative than having to buy the entire collection again in a different format. It is probably also preferable to having a professional do the work for you, which can be costly depending on the condition of the record.
