[Vision2020] Any vinyl audiophiles out there?

[J Ford]

Question:

How do you rip an album to disk?  I have over 500 of them, most of which I have had since the 1960's when they first came out, but also have a number of 78's and albums from the 30's/40's.  I've wanted to put them on disk but don't know how.  Any info on that would be appreciated.  

Thanks.

J  :]
