VinylStudio is a program for transferring your vinyl albums (or cassette tapes) to your computer.

VinylStudio makes it easy to digitise your vinyl albums and cassette tapes.

VinylStudio saves you all the hassle of dealing with individual files and handles the entire process, including recording, looking up track listings on the Internet, splitting recordings into tracks, fading tracks in and out, saving tracks as MP3 files and burning both audio and MP3 CDs.

VinylStudio can also copy tracks to your MP3 player. VinylStudio can record to both MP3 format (which saves a lot of disk space) and WAV format, and can save tracks as MP3 files from either format.

You can play the resulting MP3 files on any PC or laptop equipped with a sound card, download them into an MP3 player, or burn them to CD.

VinylStudio embeds ID3 tags in the MP3 files it produces so that the artist, album and track title are displayed when the track is played.VinylStudio can burn both audio and MP3 CD's; just drag albums or tracks from your collection and drop them on the list of tracks to be burned.

VinylStudio can generate playlists for Windows Media Player, making it easy to play an entire album at a time. This also helps maintain the identity of the albums in your digitised collection.

VinylStudio organises your recordings into one or more collections, and one advantage of using it is that you build up a catalog of your albums which you can use for other purposes. This catalog can, for example, be imported into Excel or a database program for further processing.

Because VinylStudio is an all-in-one solution, you don't need to deal with an unruly gaggle of audio files. Instead, VinylStudio organises your collection by artist and album title and keeps track of all your files for you. There is also no need to make multiple copies of your (large!) audio files when you declick them - VinyStudio keeps a record of your changes and applies them on the fly, thus saving disk space and time.
