Copying LPs to CDs


I have a nice collection of vinyl LPs that I want to copy to CDs using the CD-R on my computer. Is there any software out there that can take an analog audio sugnal and digitize it for copying to a CD-R. It would also be helpful if this software had a tick-and-pop filter to get rid of scratches and maybe some equalization. Thanks

of course wd40 is out. tap water and a watts parastat brush if you can find one or a vpi record washing brush + a small drop fodawn detergent. the biggest danger is water damaging the label, which hasnt happened to me. you can really scrub back and forth and do repeated washings when necessary. dry with paper towels, believe it or not, they leave nearly nothing on the disc. cloth always does. i have to use a carbon fiber brush (AQ will do fine) to take the cloth fibers off when using a cloth to dry with. avoid the nitty gritty and go with the vpi machine if you opt to spend real money. even the cheapest nitty which is the smae mechanically as the AA record dr.II is a waste of your bux. and why not get a stand alone cdr? the little phillips is only about $300. and you dont have to have a computer near your phono section or run long cabling.
