Hi Mr. Burgess,

I have recently come across, in our collection, record albums that contain recordings of Christy Walsh, Babe and some of Christy's various events. Could you recommend, to me. someone that may have record players that could play the records and then record them to CD or IPOD? And do you know what type of interest would be drawn to such albums? I know this is a crazy request but rather than purchasing a record player I thought that their might be better technology out there to play these records especially since a couple require a diamond needle.

I have come across your name recently and in various articles, when looking up information on recordings.

If you have any advice on how to best transfer these recordings please let me know.

Thank you,

Kelly Merritt (granddaughter of Christy & Margaret Merritt Walsh)

Guessing it's a 78, rather than a vinyl 33. Record players that connect to USB are fairly cheap. Don't know if there's anything out there (short of micing the speaker) that would convert a 78. Might suggest they go to an audiophile forum and ask there.


Quick Google search shows this:

http://manual.audacityteam.org/index..._78rpm_records

Looks like there are people that can do it for them, but it may not be all that tough for them to do it themselves (or find someone here to do it for them).

Just got this in today.

I use audacity when it talks about recording, and they have a lot of offers on their audacity guides. I they want to try just download it on there computer. They can also use that recording editor on android.
