I've copied LP's to CD using Adaptec software and it works very good.
I use an Acer CD writer. I connected my turntable directly to the soundcard
'IN' port. The results are excellent. My CD's sound excatly like the LP's.
In fact, I could not tell them apart, they are that close. Keep in mind that
the CD will not improve the LP's audio quality. However, I haven't used
the pop removal function as my LP's are in good shape.
If you only want to copy a few LP's to CD, the investment will not be
worth it, just buy the CD's you need. But if you have a lot of LP's you
want to put on CD, the cost is worth it. The good news is that
HI-VAL blank CD's are only $1.00 in a pack of 10 (no jewel case).
Do keep in mind that it takes effort and time to copy from LP to
CD- you need lots of disk space to first copy the tracks to a .wav
file, and then the write to CD function is slow, and I can't run
other programs when it's writing.
