"Many of the old LPs I have are no longer available. Some of the
records were produced by small jazz labels that are not around
anymore. I wondered if there was a way to preserve my collection by
saving copies of the rarer recordings.

(available from nearly any electronics store) and my Linux box, I
was able to save the recordings. In fact, I was even able to
improve the sound quality of several older LPs."
