My reputation for recording records to CD's is spreading...
I recorded about 60 albums to CD, for my aunt.
Mostly Lawrence Welk and that sort of music.

Well...

I just got another job.
My Mom's neighbor has about 75 albums, just about EVERY rock and pop group from the 1970's, from ABBA, to Neil Young.
(Yes, even Boston's first record!)

Oh, and one Beatles album, the White Album.

I like doing this for my Mom's friends and relatives, and they really appreciate it, older records they haven't heard for years, they now have on CD.
And all it costs them is the blank CD's, and those are $5 or less for 50 of those.

1. Do you have software that knows how to separate the songs into CD tracks?

5. This is my record player.
Got it for $80 at Shopko.



The computer memory stick plugs in the front, and on the right side is a cassette player.

4. My brother has been doing this for years as s service - records old opera and orchestral 78's
to CD's. He also finds the occasional jug band or jazz band recordings on 78.
