This one's for Mark, 'cause I know he's into those old sounds: Turtle's "78 RPM" Jukebox, remastered from original recordings which have lapsed into the public domain. Some are pretty noisy, but on some the remastering is incredible.

Tres cool. I've got a couple hundred old 78 RPMs at home (most of which are not featured on that site), and my grandfather's floor model Victor victrola on which to play them: maybe I should record them and set up a similar site? Hmm, I'd need a large supply of fresh needles, but that's not too hard. Anyone know what the best recording method would be?

I'm tempted to make some clueless comment about the possibility of a needle exchange program...
I think we set up something by just wiring line out on a cassette recorder through the mic jack on a PC (or maybe it was the other way around), just start out with an extremely low volume (gain). But I'm sure someone else has a system that'd really work well. You might try emailing those folks and seeing what they use, because it also sounds like they've got some software cleanup stuff figured out too.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
