I've been on a vinyl digitizing kick again lately and have been doing my
collection of Warner Brothers Loss Leaders. I'm occasionally surprised
at how good some of it sounds, but it's sure variable! Even the same
side of a record can start out horrible but be terrific by the end. It's
interesting to also get visual confirmation of what I'm hearing:
ClickRepair will show me it's doing all kinds of work on some passages
and nothing at all on others.

Ah, I found it. And yes, it does record local tracks.

Thanks. That looks like it may do the trick.

* Where is the output found?

* Does it record tracks played from the local library, or only radio?

"LP playback system" ... A turntable? You can play CDs on a turntable
now? That's pretty cool.

Reading audiophile forums is how you get good playback of badly mastered
CDs?

[slim] Track history plugin?

2018-06-18 Thread JJZolx


Are there any plugins that track the history of tracks played through
LMS? Increasingly I find myself playing something, usually from Random
Albums, then trying to remember the artist a couple days later.
