I would much prefer straight copies of the original masters than someone else's idea of how it should sound.

My sister, nephew and I have just about every original Beatles album on vinyl. I've been thinking about getting a USB turntable and copying them to CD myself. As many albus as there are I could probably buy the turntable and blank CD's for less than I'd pay for all of the re-mastered retail versions.

I have hooked the Yamaha turntable to the computer. Made respectable copies. Kinks, John Lee Hooker and JLH jr. My buddy has a USB turntable and has burned everything he has.

There is software now that seperates tracks etc... Also, alot of freeware is out that will .wav/etc.. to mp3 and vice versa with many quality levels. You will find an mp3 level that is indistinguishable.

CD's are adequate formats by nature. A quality mp3 can replicate the original cd levels.
