Question:<br><br>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. <br><br>Thanks.<br><br>J :]<br><br><br>> Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:43:23 -0800<br>> From: godshatter@yahoo.com<br>> To: carlwestberg846@hotmail.com<br>> CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Any vinyl audiophiles out there?<br>> <br>> I wish I could help you. Just for the curious, how much room does <br>> 17,467 albums take up of physical space? I was going to suggest ripping <br>> them to your computer, but by my calculations (assuming that an album is <br>> roughly equal to a CD in size) it would take over 10 terabytes of disk <br>> space for the raw .wav files. Or about 1 terabyte for mp3 files. Not <br>> completely out of the question (my computer right now has about a <br>> terabyte of space), but that's a lot of time ripping albums to disk. On <br>> the plus side, you could fit them all on two hard disks, for a total <br>> physical space usage of about the size of two grilled cheese sandwiches.<br>> <br>> It would also take somebody just under 4 1/2 years to listen to them <br>> all, assuming 45 minutes an album and 8 hour days and no time off for <br>> weekends or holidays.<br>> <br>> Paul<br>> <br>> Carl Westberg wrote:<br>> > I'm trying to decide what to do with approximately 17,467 (rough <br>> > estimate) vinyl classical albums.
