I would like that, but I checked on line about a couple of record albums
from the Mystic Moods orchestra: Namely One Stormy Night and Emotions. I
hear they were a group from San Francisco who did these albums in the 60s!
And when I found out about those albums, I heard that they never made copies
of those albums on CD! They used a lot of interesting sound effects, like
thunder in One Stormy Night, and there was also a sound of a train that used
the steam engine with the sound I remember before the Diesels. And the
emotions album had other kinds of sounds as well! And also the music was
good. It was relaxing! But nowhere is there a CD version of those albums,
because they never did one. If anyone else wants to check, that's fine, but
I think you'll have a dry run, like I did.

Are professionally-produced CD's of the albums you're interested in not
available? They may well have much better sound than anything you could
produce with home-grown equipment.

transfer to CD, but a problem with this is that then, it's a second
generation copy, and I hear those aren't as good as a first one!

Must say Dave, simply from my impressions of the ION USB turntable I saw,
the build quality didn't seem impressive so I'm inclined to think these
turntables are very basic performers technically.
I'd much sooner go for a Hi Fi turntable with magnetic cartridge and a
good
pre-amp. These cost!
Either that or consider using a company doing vinyl transfer as a paid-for
service.
After all is said though, depends entirely on how critical you are about
sound quality. I've yet to start transfering my treasured vinyls but I
know
it is going to be time-consuming.
Hope these thoughts are of some help.
Ray.

I'm just wondering what quality of turntable these will be.

Well, there were such things as Music Centres - as we called them here in
Brittain - which combined turntables with cassette decs. Still we're
talking 'old' here, and I guess you want a USB hardware device that does
the
two.
I've not seen an USB combi anywhere for transfering old anoalogue stuff.
I
know here a brand called ION has seemingly cornered the market in three
seperate units that do vinyl records, audio cassettes, and VHS videos.
So
I if you've not held on to the various old stuff that could have done this
via hooking through a converter, then this is the only way to go.
Ray.
