I transfer LPs (and a few 45s and 78s) to digital and have some software that will clean them up. It doesn't work miracles, but a clean LP comes out sounding very, very good. So, I've been haunting used record shops and thrift stores. I probably have collected several hundred over the past few years. I *THINK* you can use Audacity (free software) to "speed correct" the 16 RPMs.

And, just to keep this at least partially on topic, just let me say that all of this information is ...


Off the record.

To be honest, I thought the sound was going to be something like:

"Muffy, please pass the Champers and isn't the paté simply divine! Say, when are we doing Monaco this year?"

Off the record.
In the late 90s an east european student sarted a project to acquire records with a flatbed scanner and get music out of them analyzing with a graphical software (Image Magik, IIRC) the image of the record.
The last version of the tool I heard of was actually capable of getting a monaural .wav file out of a 45 rpm record...

I haven't heard from him since '99...

A guy walks into a butcher's shop and says "Sir, are you a gambling man?"

The butcher says "Why yes, as a matter of fact I am."

"Then I'll bet you $25 you can't reach up and touch that meat hanging over your head right there."

The butcher thinks for a moment and says "I'm sorry, I won't take that bet."

The guy says "But I thought you said you were a gambling man."

"I am. But the steaks are too high."

Two guys are walking down a dark alley when a mugger approaches, whips out a gun, and demands their money.

The guys both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin to take out their cash. Just then, one guy turns to the other and hands him a bill.

"Hey, here's that twenty I owe you..."

My girlfriend was enjoying her bath when she opened her eyes to see me standing over her.

"Tony," she said, "please pull the plug out for me, will you?"

"No!" I replied.

"Come on," she said, "don't be so silly, just pull the plug out."

"No," I said again.

"Well at least put the toaster down then," she said.
