<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">A relatively inexpensive option for the turntable would be an Audio Technica LP6-USB turntable. They’re usually under $100 and have a USB port that you can connect to a computer or other device and rip the tracks
as MP3 or FLAC. I’d personally recommend saving the files as lossless FLAC files; they are larger than MP3s, but won’t be as compressed and the sound quality will be better. You can always then convert the files to MP3 or any other file format that’s convenient.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on a device that can transfer LPs to a digital format? Any recommendations regarding what features a device like this should have to make good quality digital files? We have several LPs in
our archives, and we are exploring some options in order to make them into an audio file which could be made into something like a mp3 file. We would prefer to purchase a device (instead of outsourcing) as we do have several LPs that are very fragile, and
we feel that keeping it in house may be a more viable option.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your help,<o:p></o:p></p>
