1. OVERVIEW

To record a vinyl LP to convert to a CD or group of MP3
Files you need to use a 'WAV file recorder' to store the 
recording as a WAV format file on your hard disk. Most 
general purpose WAV recorders are packed with functions. 
They tend to be complicated and time-consuming to 
configure and use. 

In contrast, LP Recorder has been designed with one 
purpose in mind - to record vinyl LPs. Connect the tape 
or line output from your stereo to the line input of your
soundcard, enter a filename, select the recording input
and press the record button.


Features

Special features of LP Recorder suited to recording 
vinyl are:

* Automatically adjusts optimum recording levels to 
  avoid distortion
* Auto start and auto stop for easy operation
* Visual level meter can be used to check recording 
  levels before AND during recording
* Level meters display even if your soundcard does
  not include the meter feature
* Large volume slider with numeric values for precise 
  settings
* Skip and clip prevention and detection
* The remaining recording time, based on the 
  free space on your disk, is displayed
* The recorded file is ready for further processing 
  as soon as the recording has finished
* Produces an LP Ripper-compatible tracks (TRK) file 
* Minimum number of settings for easy configuration


============================================
2. MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

  MS Windows 95, 98, ME or NT4
  Intel 233 Mhz Pentium processor
  800 x 600 SVGA display, 32Mb RAM
  Windows compatible mouse
  Soundblaster-compatible Soundcard
  300Mb Free disk space (approx. 30 Minutes' 
   WAV storage)
  A suitable cable to connect the tape-out of 
   your stereo amplifier to the line-in of
   your soundcard.

  NOTE: Some computers, particularly Laptop and
  Notebook models, have integrated audio chips 
  with limited recording capabilities. Use the 
  trial version of LP Recorder to make sure that 
  your computer has adequate facilities to
