As I stated in my post, I don't bother to record classical LPs. I try and buy an appropriate CD. With classical music I am not worried too much about the particular performance of a work, as long as there is at least one decent performance on CD. I find that most of the renowned historical performances are on CD anyway.
If you are looking for obscure classical music tag data then I doubt you will find VinylStudio any better than before. These databases are very much geared up to "popular" music formats. I use my own peculiar and very personal tagging scheme for classical CDs which probably would not suit anybody else anyway. > You can transfer a 45 minute LP in 15 minutes?If I were being uncharitable, I > might accuse you of wilful misunderstanding! I, of course, mean 15 minutes on top of the time needed to record the album, as I stated clearly in my previous post on this thread. I find that with pop/rock I can set levels adequately by sampling a minute or two from one or two obviously loud tracks. I have got better at this with practice. > All the stuff I'm transferring is the stuff with which you don't bother. > It is all acoustic.

It is not that I don't "bother" it is more that my collection contains very little music that has not been released on CD. So far, where I have come across a work in my stack of LPs that is not -currently- available on CD, I have found it has been issued in the past and might be available second hand. A "standing order" on e-bay works surprisingly well at digging out obscure music. Having said that, my classical music tastes are very "mainstream" and probably not much of a challenge to find issued on CD. As ever there are "horses for courses". -- TheLastMan Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology DS107+ (500GB) NAS running LMS 7.7.0 on SSODSmod 4.14 *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93265 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
