Thanks for the tip. For the few LPs that I've done I suppose I only
needed to re-rip because of clipping around 10-20% of the time. I
usually knew the LP well enough to find the loudest passages without
playing the entire LP. Does Audacity have auto-leveling? If not, is
there a package you'd recommend?

As for resting the LPs after playing, unfortunately that's water under
the bridge for me. :-(
