Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

Uber I use an art usb phono plus a2d converter to usb on my laptop that hosts the music server on attached usb drive.

I use audacity software on the laptop to capture the digital at cd resolution and then master the digital. I play the entire album into one file then edit it down and identify the tracks. I run normalization and click removal processing on the file with Audacity. Then I write the individual tracks to corresponding flac format files on disk.

Next I use Picard software to quickly tag the files. Finally if needed I use the manual file tagging feature of dbpoweramp to fix any tags needed including adding album art.

Then my plex music server software automatically picks up the new files and adds them to its library. I also use logitech media server and Squeeze devices so I run the rescan function in LMS. At this point the new files are available via both plex and Squeeze box devices.

Finally I attach my backup drive and run Seagate backup software to back up the new files.

I think I picked up the album at Goodwill one day. One of my best finds there.

Today when setting up I found I had volume in only one channel playing the vinyl. Isolated things down to a bad tube in my Audio Research sp16 pre-amps’s phono section. Swapped in a spare tube and good to go. That was the first tube I’ve had go on me in several years. I hate when that happens.

Sounds like you have that process down to a fine "art".
I guess I am old and lazy but sounds like a lot of work, maybe not once you have done it a few times and it is second nature.
My daughter has a tt with a USB output as well and I was considering trying to rip some vinyl, which is why I asked. Software is the key it appears.

Never had a decent Goodwill vinyl purchase yet I am afraid.

Glad you found the channel hiatus fairly quickly and easily, that can drive you nuts!
Had to buy it when I saw this gem sitting in the $1 box.
