That's a pretty neat album to have, imagine getting anything like that today!
Just curious as to how you are ripping your vinyl to your server?

This one needs a bit of help, definitely a $1 album! |
Schubert: Complete Works for Violin and Piano - Julia Fischer
|
Uber I use an art usb phono plus a2d converter to usb on my laptop that hosts the music server on attached usb drive.
I use audacity software on the laptop to capture the digital at cd resolution and then master the digital. I play the entire album into one file then edit it down and identify the tracks. I run normalization and click removal processing on the file with Audacity. Then I write the individual tracks to corresponding flac format files on disk.
Next I use Picard software to quickly tag the files. Finally if needed I use the manual file tagging feature of dbpoweramp to fix any tags needed including adding album art.
Then my plex music server software automatically picks up the new files and adds them to its library. I also use logitech media server and Squeeze devices so I run the rescan function in LMS. At this point the new files are available via both plex and Squeeze box devices.
Finally I attach my backup drive and run Seagate backup software to back up the new files.
I think I picked up the album at Goodwill one day. One of my best finds there.
Today when setting up I found I had volume in only one channel playing the vinyl. Isolated things down to a bad tube in my Audio Research sp16 pre-amps’s phono section. Swapped in a spare tube and good to go. That was the first tube I’ve had go on me in several years. I hate when that happens.

Sounds like you have that process down to a fine "art".
I guess I am old and lazy but sounds like a lot of work, maybe not once you have done it a few times and it is second nature.
My daughter has a tt with a USB output as well and I was considering trying to rip some vinyl, which is why I asked. Software is the key it appears.
Never had a decent Goodwill vinyl purchase yet I am afraid.
Glad you found the channel hiatus fairly quickly and easily, that can drive you nuts!

Had to buy it when I saw this gem sitting in the $1 box.

@uberwaltz
Great choices. Brings back memories. Soul Searching was soon after Steve Ferrone joined. Steve was really funky. Saw them on the Person to Person tour around that time. Their fortunes were on the way out as Funk/Soul/disco was dying and Reggae/Punk was all the rage...
Freeways happens to be another album for a band that had lost its lustre or chart topping success...I really liked this album a lot but it was the last for BTO. So different from Not Fragile - no wonder Turner hated it - no meat for Turner to sink his teeth into like Sledgehammer.
I ride shotgun on his money... just sounded too nice and unconvincing with Randy’s soft vocals. I wonder how the outcome might have been different had Turner sang lead?

@shadorne
I completely agree on Freeways, I mean it's fine just different, I only bought it as it was just $1!.
Next up was going to be Not Fragile which is in another category altogether!
Will get round to that later today. |

Picked up a Rory Block lp, listening with an m91ed with new needle (20 hours.) Why have I never heard of her? She has 20+ albums. Fantastic acoustic guitar playing. |
Jason Isbell - Southeastern....... dude can rip my heart out... |

uberwaltz, I admire the breadth of your interest...but Alabama? ;-)
I just got Donald Fagen's "Nightfly" CD in the mail this afternoon. As expected the production quality is hard to top but not sure I like it as much as any of the other Steely Dan recordings I have. |
N80
I know, lol, Alabama might not see much play tbh.
It was part of the lot of $1 each vinyl I recently purchased.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
