One of xavyer's posts in our remarkably flame-free discussion on so-called music piracy(1) made me think about the problem of digitizing old LPs, tapes and other sources not available already digitized on CDs. In principle it should be simple, but please do share your experience (good/poor soundcards, perhaps external ADCs, phono preamps, chopping recording into tracks....)

(1) I always thought pirates are guys who attack a merchant ship, hang the captain, strand crew and passangers on a deserted island if they feel like it and slaughter them if not, take cargo and burn the ship. Not paying royalties for listening to a recording is, IMHO, a slightly lesser crime.
