Hi Jared, it's from the catch-of-the day. The quality is so far o. k.. It's running fine and to create .ogg files good enough. I can' t say it's jumping, yet! May in your case it's the record what is jumping. I have two of those, they look like stormy sea. They also jump on my high end turntable.
Of course for a price of $ 69 you can not expect too much, but I am already happy to found a way to get my old records archived. regards Ferdinand -----Original Message----- From: Jared Norris <[email protected]> To: Ferdinand Lehnard <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Old LP's and records Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:38:27 +1000 On 24 April 2010 18:20, Ferdinand Lehnard <[email protected]> wrote: Hi mates, I just would like to inform you that ALDI (NSW) had last week a USB turntable (record player) in their shops which is usable to copy your old records onto CD. The most surprising stuff was that the software package delivered was Audacity. Seeing this I thought, that could be something for my UBUNTU machine and just bought it even it was no mentioning of LINUX on the package. Today I tried it and worked out of the box, I was not even forced to load the Installation CD. All you need is AUDACITY. I am using still UBUNTU 8.04 just for your info. Greetings Ferdinand -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au Ferdinand, How did you find the device itself? My parents recently bought a device similar to that from the catchoftheday (I realise you can get high quality ones for hundreds of dollars, this one was 60 - 80 ish from memory). Unfortunately the device skipped across the records so badly they threw it out after ruining one of their records. Upon seeing it had installed audacity I advised them it would be cheaper to purchase an RCA to 3.5mm Stereo lead and just play it using the high quality record player they already own using the lead to the line in on their onboard sound card. They haven't had a chance to try this yet but I was curious to see what your experience was like. Regards, Jared Norris
