SBrooksbluetooth turntable to digital/MP3 ?
Anyone know a way to convert the output of a bluetooth turntable to MP3 files - like over the air?
Can you hook a laptop to the turntable via bluetooth and then use software to capture the signal ?
Would that be as clean as connecting to the RCA outputs somehow or would the outputs be better signal than the bluetooth ?

Skull LeaderIn the past I've captured records to mp3 using an RCA to 3.5 microphone jack adapter. Can't remember what software I used, but I'm sure you can use any audio recording software.

smschulzI wouldn't want to make it a primary method of getting digital copies.
You can't get beyond the introduction of noise on a fairly high level.
Especially if there are already digital versions available now.
I understand it isn't utilizing what copies you already have but the quality is not anywhere close to ripping CD's.
I have a lot of LP's but wouldn't think of digitizing them.
I have ripped over 800 cd's though.
I personally would look for a deal online of a CD or a direct download if possible.
YMMV
PS I do love original LP's on a quality TT and Cartridge though.

I have only converted a few vinyl LPs to digital because they were unavailable on CD. Now that they have became available, I bought the CD versions. CDs are so inexpensive now, I would never consider LP to digital transfers for music that is already available on CD disc or MP3/FLAC files.
