Pay us nothing until you are completely satisfied

There are lots of us with old vinyl record collections that are just gathering dust now that we have moved into the CD age. You might even have bought some of your favourite albums on CD but no doubt there are still some that you cannot get or haven't yet found.

Well now there is no need to look any further. We can convert all of your old vinyl records to a digital format so that you can add them to you iPod, CD's etc. We can convert them to the format of your choice from the many we offer and give you CD quality recordings, without the hisses and crackles you associate with vinyl. We also include a printed CD, printed insert and cover, or if specified on the order, a Jewel Case with printed inserts of your choice.

All this for less than it would cost you to buy the CD!

So why not dust off that old vinyl collection and let us convert your favourite albums or singles so that you can listen to them wherever you are; at home, in the car, or even when you are jogging. We can even take specific tracks from albums and create a CD of all your favourites.

Apart from that old vinyl collection you might also have some prized cassettes, even ones you have recorded yourself from a family get together, or maybe the kids singing? Well we can convert these to a digital format for your iPod or onto CD. The quality on cassettes does deteriorate over time and if they snap, well that's it lost forever.

Protect these special recordings and maintain the quality by having us convert them to a digital format of your choice.

Vinyl

We can convert all types of vinyl

• 78 rpm
• 45 rpm
• 33 1/3 rpm

Cassette

We also convert normal Cassettes of any length

• C60
• C90
• C120

Digital

We can convert to any format you choose from the following

MP3
MP3 is a compressed version of the WAV format and consumes as little as 10% of the hard drive space of an equivalent WAV file - typically 1 MB for a minute of music. The MP3 format compresses audio files in such a way that the file size is relatively small, but the song sounds nearly perfect.

WAV
The WAV format is an uncompressed copy of a CD audio track that preserves CD-quality. Although this is the purest form of audio, it also takes up a significant amount of hard drive space (a typical three-minute song consumes more than 30MB of hard disc space)
WAV ADPCM
Compressed WAV format. ADPCM (Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation) is an audio compression scheme which compresses from 16-bit to 4-bit for a 4:1 compression ratio. Microsoft ADPCM is directly supported on most Windows implementations as a native format. Although the quality of IMA ADPCM voice files is not great, the files are portable. There is a real advantage in having compact files that can be played on most Windows PCs.

WMA
Windows Media Audio format. A special type of advanced streaming format file for use with audio content encoded with the Windows Media Audio codec. The .wma extension indicates a file format and how the content is encoded.

OGG Vorbis
Ogg Vorbis is an audio compression format. It is roughly comparable to other formats used to store and play digital music, such as MP3, VQF, AAC, and other digital audio formats.

Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8kHz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel.

VOX
Dialogic ADPCM format. The Dialogic ADPCM format is commonly found in telephony applications, and has been optimized for low sample rate voice. It will only save mono 16-bit audio, and like other ADPCM formats, it compresses to 4-bits/sample (for a 4:1 ratio). This format has no header, so any file format with the extension .VOX will be assumed to be in this format.

GSM
Compressed WAV format. Good for keeping of human speech. It is lossy speech compression that allow to get telephone quality speech with 13 kbit/s. It is a standard used for telephone sound compression in European countries and its gaining popularity because of its quality.
GSM 06.10 stands for Global System for Mobile Communications and is a variant of LPC called RPE-LPC (Regular Pulse Excited - Linear Predictive Coder) and is a European standard originally for use in encoding speech for satellite distribution to mobile phones. It can be found in use in various telephony products such as voice mail applications.

CCUIT G721
Used for computer telephony. 32 kbit/s adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM). Good for keeping of human speech.

CCUIT G723
Used for computer telephony. Extensions of Recommendation G.721 adaptive differential pulse code modulation to 24 and 40 kbit/s for digital circuit multiplication equipment application. Good for keeping of human speech.

CCUIT G726
Used for computer telephony. 40, 32, 24, 16 kbit/s adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM). Good for keeping of human speech.

CCUIT G726
G 729A is well designed to offer telephone quality voice over systems. It provides near toll quality service

AC3

Dolby Digital AC3 (Multichannels) Dolby Digital (AC-3) is Dolby's third generation audio coding algorithm. It is a perceptual coding algorithm developed to allow the use of lower data rates with a minimum of perceived degradation of sound quality.

RAW A-Law

CCUIT A-LAW Compressed WAV format. A-Law (or CCITT standard G.711) is an audio compression scheme common in telephony applications

RAW U-Law

CCUIT u-Law Compressed WAV format. u-Law (or CCITT standard G.711) is an audio compression scheme and international standard in telephony applications.

MPC

(MPEG plus/MusePack). MusePack .(mpc) is a lossy compressed format that is considered to be the best of all the codecs at   moderate to high bitrates. The most significant downside is that as no hardware devices or portable audio players support the format.

First of all we play your vinyl tracks on high quality recording equipment that connects to a PC and converts the recording as it is to a digital format. We can then work with this file to enhance the quality for your listening pleasure. Alternatively, if you prefer the old sound with the hisses and crackles associated with vinyl, we can convert it as it is to a file for your iPod or CD.

Next we use our sophisticated software and expertise to manually edit and enhance the recording. We remove as much noise from the original as we can without distorting what is left and produce the best quality recording possible. This normally means a quality you would normally associate with an original CD, but with particularly old or scratched vinyl it might not always be possible. Where this is the case we will discuss it further with you and let you listen to the recording before completing your order. That way you have the choice to go ahead or not.

Next we convert the track(s) to the format you chose and where applicable we burn them to CD.

If you order a CD We will print the CD and, if ordered, the jewel case inserts with a design you choose or one or our standard templates.

Finally we return your original vinyl or cassette(s) together with your new recordings.

Our aim is total satisfaction and value for money. Your happiness is very important to us.
