A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.

It is not difficult to make copies of vinyl records. All you need is an audio output from a receiver, a computer, and recording software (such as GarageBand or Logic Pro).
You’d be surprised how easy and relatively cheap it is to rip vinyl to MP3.
But MP3 is a lossy format 🤨
That’s why I usually record to AIFF or WAV since it’s lossless
Why not FLAC though?
I haven’t worked with FLAC since the hardware I own utilizes AIFF & WAV raw recording file formats. Exporting I typically use MP3 with a sample rate of 128Kbps/44.1KHz. I haven’t tried FLAC yet. I might try to do that next opportunity to see if the file sizes are comparable (there’s a size limit when I upload DJ mixes to Mixcloud).
