I just finished doing 1 album and it came out amazing. I spent about 1 week on it - about 3 hours per day for 8 days. While it's time consuming - the result - hearing music like you never have before - makes it well worth it.
Whoa, I've got about a thousand LPs I'd like to convert. I guess I'll have to start with my top 10 Desert Island classics.

"When Ruthie says come see her in her honky-tonk lagoon, where I can watch her waltz for free 'neath her Panamanian moon. An' I say, "Aw come on now you must know about my dedutante." An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need but I know what you waaaant."
