I have a large record collection up in a man-cave on the second floor of my house with a turntable, pCP, and a mediocre stereo. I have a process where I record these to wav, then do some cleaning and separation into individual track, these are then fed into DAEMON Tools Pro where a create a virtual CD using the LP tracks, and then I rip the virtual CD into flac using dBpoweramp. Typically, this results in dBpoweramp knowing what I'm ripping, and thus saves me the hassle of manually entering the song names, cover art, etc. The resulting flacs are added to LMS where I can play them all over the house. Getting wind of this, my friends are now bringing me boxes of albums to listen to and record. In that case, I typically convert the flac to VBR MP3 and put on a memory stick for them to take home. We'd like to congregate in the living room which has ample room, decent HiFi, and is next to an open kitchen. Ideal place to hang around and listen to albums, aside from the fact that it does not have a turntable. But it does have a pCP. So what I thought would be nice, is being able to record and feed music (at roughly the same time) in my man-cave while listening in the living room, as opposed to piling everyone into the man-cave which is ill suited for gatherings. The simple solution would be to move the turntable to the living room and have the LMS located there, but this is a bit of a logistical nightmare that I was hoping to avoid. Sorry for the longwinded explanation - I thought this was something that others were possibly already doing, and that I was just overlooking something. I used to have LMS on a Win-2012 server, but it fried a few months ago along with my squeezebox player, and that's when took the dive into linux and pCP. So far, that has been working out great, although the learning curve was a bit steep in the beginning. At any rate, thanks for your help - I will live without being able to record/stream at the same time, but by the same token, it would make my life easier if I could, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
