IKEA listed Expedit’s maximum load per shelf is 29 lbs. — and from my experience, a full crate of LPs weight a LOT more than that — can you really fill each cube to the limit?

A couple of things to note:

1. When you download Audacity, you will have to go to preferences to set it up for stereo recording, and then change the values to get the best (read:highest) bit-rate available.

2. Put the cable into the Record or OUTPUT of your Tape deck on the back of the amp.

3. You may have to dig out your sound card manual or go online to find which jack is the audio input of your soundcard. Plug the mini end of the cord into this.

4. Singles take more of your time to do, because you have to pause in between sides, but whole albums are better because you can actually wash the dishes or do other household chores while one side plays.

4a. Between sides, press the PAUSE button. If you press stop, you’re done with that file.

5. Once you’re done with both sides, go back to the beginning and mark the beginnings of each song. I’ll detail more of this in my blog.

6. Use the File, Export Multiple, and the software will divide your files up nicely.

Thanks for posting this. I will plan to elaborate more on this in my blog (http://jezmez68.blogspot.com) in the next few days. I will add more tips from what I have learned so far using Audacity. If you have any questions, please email me.

Works like a charm.

Also, are there Expedit-like cases but with doors for a cleaner look?

Still, this is a cool way to make backups of vinyl records. Thanks for the head’s up!

It’s her home, too. Only if you dispute that, only if you think the house belongs to the Man, can you argue that she should have no input on what comes to fill that space and how much of it.

It’s especially unfair, and, yes, passive-aggressive that the woman in the scenarior is labeled PA for saying “we’ll discuss it when I get home”. Damned for negotiating, and I assume would-have-been-damned for trying to insist that something be done. I detect an attitude problem on the part of Mr. Unclutterer.

That said, I agree with PJ that lossless is the way to go. You can always encode to MP3 later if you start with lossless. If you start with MP3… well that’s as good as it’s going to get.

This reduces the process to putting the needle down and walking away for 15 minutes.

I have an Expedit, which is really nice, but it’s also nice to be able to listen to my vinyl collection anywhere.

The Ikea Expedit is a great staple in the record collecting community. As someone with a 1,000+ record collection I can also honestly say this is probably the least cluttery and intrusive stuff in my house. The books look far more messy, and those are arranged by color. Additionally you can get all manner of fabric and plastic bins to stash the records in, inside the Expedit, but out of site.

Also Havoc Records has the best prices around for LP sleeves, better all around to deal with than Bags Unlimited.

…who, alas and alack, went back to her ex-boyfriend. They can’t all be winners.
