Got a USB Turn Table? If Yes You are A Music Archivist

The science of getting your records turn into bits and bytes is one of the remarkable thing for a buddy that wants to preserve those old songs. Given that you have a USB turntable then you will really get the drive to spin the black disc.

It is very simple you just have to hook the plug onto your computer and there you have it, congratulate yourself from having your own homemade mp3 out from your good old vinyl record. Of course, don't forget to back them up to a CD or external hard drive. There will be some depreciation in the sound quality, but it will be largely unnoticeable.

I am wondering if you are now fit to be called as a music archivist. Dig those old forgotten bands and somehow you will learn something in the process or you can also hit gold on your search. Go and hit the button and simply use the USB turntable to help preserve the music of your choice.

The Age of Extinct Indie Music Stores

The age of ITunes bring a lot of unexpected twists and turns and it so happen that the affected businesses are the small indie records store. Right from the start there seems to be a good cause to put up an independent music store but at this recent age of iPods and Mp3 it seems they have to grasp a life saver because they are losing their revenues.

Then all of a sudden, things had been though for them because of digital downloads. Hence, they have to make another leeway to make their livelihood float, or else they will really be extinct.

The music industry is at a noteworthy place at this point in time. With the emergence of MP3s and digital file sharing, shelves containing a music library have been reduced to a hard drive that can crash at any time.

How to List Books, Vinyl Records and Other Tangible Items Online and Make Sales

I have lost count of the number of times I have come across poorly described books and vinyl records on the internet, particularly on auction sites, where attracting the right eyeballs is doubly important on time-sensitive items.

Your title and description is of vital importance and will ultimately determine whether your item sells or remains in your inventory. Below I have provided a few tips to help you attract your potential buyer's attention in the first instance. Once they are looking at your offer, there are a couple of things you can do to answer some if not all of their questions before they have even been asked. Then I'll discuss what should happen once you have received payment.

I have put together the information below from observations I have made from a buyer's point of view, as well as from my own experience as a seller of books and vinyl records over a number of years. I do genuinely believe that some online sellers are giving the rest of us a bad name purely because they are failing to adhere to a few simple guidelines based on common sense and unwritten law (either by mistake or because they haven't thought about it before).

Here are the crucial points to remember when listing a book, vinyl record or other tangible item for sale online:

* As with everything else you may sell on the internet, the title or headline is of paramount importance as this will almost always be the first thing a potential buyer sees. A detailed and informative headline will also help search engines like Google index you that little bit faster.

Here's a tip I usually keep close to my chest: make the actual address of your page as close to the title of your listing as possible. A page such as: book12.html is not nearly as good as the_man_with_the_golden_gun.html

Bing Crosby Ushers Vinyl Records to Popularity

Looking back on the past events, particularly in the era of World War 2, music was the most sought out comfort for the warring soldiers between Allies and Axis powers. We saw a glimpse of the past on old films featuring the war. American singers went to war camps to boost the morale of the fighting soldiers who miss much of their home. The boost, lend a helping hand in fighting their loneliness and fear of the unknown.

Those troubling years aided the popularity of vinyl records, the like of Bing Crosby, the most recorded voice astounds America and the rest of the world about the sensational White Christmas Song. As baby boomers recalled Bing Crosby was unrivaled in vinyl records sales, radio ratings, concerts, and motion picture demand. He was so hot in those days.

Bing Crosby pave much influence on development of the postwar recording industry. He is the first person to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The most popular actor in town base on soaring ticket sales and full blown attendance on his concerts.

Through his efforts and popularity vinyl records are known, riding on Bing Crosby’s wings.

Vinyl Records Onslaughts CD Sales

Everything that is old had been the in-thing these days. It is surprisingly a different story at this time because many people are now buying vinyl records for many reasons and it is quite a shocking story to note that these people too would like to know its history. The demand at this time is quite strange because it use to be the end of once good old vinyl records in the ending days of 1990s. It makes you wonder about why there is a sudden surge of vinyl discs. Perhaps we have to make a closer look.

Take note that pressing plants are no longer producing a good quantity of records at this time. The whole situation was reversed 25 years ago. Those were the times in which compact discs first came out on the market.

Does the demand of vinyl records hold some water? In fact this year, record stores 40% income comes from vinyl purchases. This really saves them from dwindling profits due to rampant CD piracy. Now, they are bracing themselves for more bleeding because digital mp3 downloads is making a killing on their profits. But thanks to the surge on the demand of vinyl records because it helps them a lot. Primarily speaking the demand of vinyl records and why people are buying vinyl discs is because they are naturally carve into baby boomer's mindset about their nostalgic moments from their youth. To add more, teens are very much interested on these stuffs.

Imagine you have to get in line to these pressing plants at this time to purchase them wholesale, which is very much amazing to Bill Gagnon, a senior vice president of catalog marketing at EMI Music.

CD sales will still continue leading a double digit decline while sales of vinyl albums are heading north. The way seems too promising and it helps boost the morale of vinyl entrepreneurs despite the onslaught of economic lock down. So at this moment let's enjoy the good news.

Jay Dy is a collector of rare vinyls or collectible records who owns a wide array of old vinyls and stuffs. As far as hard to find music records or simply rare records are your concern. It is best to recommend you to my rare vinyl records website.

Compact Discs Disadvantage over Vinyl Records

In this age of Ipods and mp3 players the favorite of indie music collectors and audiophiles possess something that is bulky and very black in appearance. This once popular music storage medium will re-enter into the mainstream as the candidate for mainly competing with the digital downloads.

The major obstacle for vinyl records to fully enjoy all out consumer’s support is that it should be able to put a final nail to compact discs’ coffin. As you can see vinyl records despite of its old style, bulky, and analog characterization. It still has the sonic advantage over music CD’s and DVD’s due to the compression specs of these formats. If you listen carefully guitars sounded like ordinary strings, cymbals is much the same as broken glasses.



So there is really some strange disadvantages of compact discs or digital formats. In short everything that compact discs captures is intentionally louder to meet the hearing threshold on humans but basically all instruments are no longer have a specified tuning because everything is loud. If you are going to compare the blending from vinyl records , it seems the obvious winner are the black discs.



You can see the difference between them just by remembering that analog is for vinyl records and digital is for compact discs.

Vinyl Records the True Version of Release

People are wondering where the demand for vinyl records come from? It could be either from teens or from baby boomers. Many are mesmerized on the demand of vinyl records in the market. Pressing plants are now working on the double because there are lots of orders being attended to. It is really a complete opposite of mp3 and CDs. It certainly is and along its bulky demeanor, it has the hisses and pops. It is really a mystery because today’s music fans buy 180-gram vinyl LPs for home listening and MP3s for their portable devices.

It’s maybe the nostalgic size and the art inspiring vinyl covers, the audio quality, and the involvement of the owner to really care on his vinyl records. The trend is very much alarming but the truth prevails on most audio enthusiast that records can sound better than CDs.

It might become the compact discs’ total failure about losing the war, because even in loudness challenge, vinyl records are louder and masterfully outshone compressed formats. The vinyl’s warm sound and satisfaction guaranteed audio fidelity is very much a looker.

Music stores had been creatively marketing the vinyl-mp3 tag team as hugely popular bait to attract buyers. It might be the compact discs’ death in the coming years because people had realized the importance of vinyl records as the mainstay physical format in buying music.

EMI Records Falling Revenues

EMI is going southwards as one of the Earth's four major labels left alive. In truth, EMI might have asked for it, after allowing a private equity group led by Guy Hands to buy the venerable music company in 2007 and scare off its most legendary artists such as Radiohead, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones.



They’ve lost a big sum of money because new ways of music entrepreneurship had killed their clout on the market.

They still have more poison but not on investing on present day record albums but to those albums who were once a record hit in the past. There is really a trend that captivates many people especially baby boomers. To sum it all up, the trend is going steady for vinyl records to be once again resurface on the music scene.

Vinyl Records and Wood Glue: The Amazing Vinyl Facial Care

Vinyl Records if stored for ages will accumulate dirt and it is something that vinyl curators or I will say collectors should not miss or even tolerate it. People had been buying vinyl cleaning solutions to maintain their vinyl discs. There are proven vinyl records cleaning solution that removes dirt but there is one out of the box cleaning method that is fresh and so weird that you are very much skeptic to apply it on your vinyl discs.


Vinyl discs are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and wood glue is from polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) in short they are pretty much like cousins. Does it stick when you apply them unto each other? Not merely, plastic vinyl is very resistant to glue adhesion.So they get on well together without any plasticising transfers – at least, for the short run. When the glue is already dry tons of dirty debris that was acquired through the ages lifts off with the glue. I remember my mom giving her a facial every evenings and this is much pretty the same with vinyl discs.


This method is giving your vinyl records a rejuvenating facial care. Initially look at the grooves they are really full of junk.




I finally poured on the wood glue and spread it evenly on the surface of my vinyl disc I use a plastic card to spread it. Just spend about 30 grams of wood glue and you can exceed it to 40-45 grams as well. Now see the picture below.





The Record now looks like it is covered with a shinny plastic sheet. I called it a jacket sleeve. Leave the Wood glue and the vinyl record for over 8 hours. Then Peel the whole set up.





See the remaining hardened wood glue they look like plastic covers and on top of that they are remove bringing along the dirt with them. See below my new vinyl record. Shinny, black, welcomes reflections, and no dandruff. Kidding, I mean no dusts or any unwanted debris at all. A must try for adventure seekers.

The Day Vinyl Records Ran Away

Vinyl discs was just a fad and do you know that there was once a war between RCA Victor and Columbia Records because they introduce different formats then. The 12" (30 cm) Long Play (LP) 33⅓ rpm microgroove record introduced by Columbia fought with the 7" (17.5 cm) / 45 rpm Extended Play (EP) by RCA Victor Records. For two years in a row , 1948 to 1950, record companies and consumers faced uncertainty over which of these formats would ultimately prevail in what was known as the "War of the Speeds".

Vinyl records show to us how it emerges into one of the the leading playback object on its golden years. Remember prices of vinyl records aren’t too expensive then and the 12” Long Play made it on top. Actually the whole media format thing is for every consumer satisfaction. So in short long live vinyl discs.

The whole scenario shifts to the 12” inches for albums because they are substantially full of sound. The LP discs provided 1.5 hours in play time. Hence, people love it. The sound quality and durability of vinyl records is highly dependent on the quality of the vinyl used. Most vinyl records are pressed on recycled vinyl.

Then in the 80’s vinyl records simply wane down on the road leading to its goodbye because tapes and cds are coming up on the market. Consumers shift away from vinyl discs slowly because the trend goes to computers which is associated with CDs and DVDs. It simply means Vinyl discs ran away from the scene.

Vinyl Discs Can Save you from Economic Crunch

How would vinyl discs be sold in the market if people have no such interests at all? The answer lies on people’s priority these days. The economy is in shambles, Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae became Frannie after their respective declaration of Bankruptcy that shook the Wall St. Recently, big banks is saying that their situation can no longer stand anymore because of high number of debts and bad investments. Could we see the end of the tunnel?

Times are hard and everyone is afraid of another economic depression. Maybe or maybe not, this is one of the cycles of market economy. Not all the time the market will be up or not all the time the market will be down.

In this crucial times do audiophiles or music collectors tire? I think not, because they see this as an opportunity. What I mean is that people will need money and they will likely be selling things that they don’t want any more like vinyl discs. What a sorry state? But it is a choice for us to hold on to our guard because it might be or might not be the perfect economic storm.

Take a look at the Dow Jones index. It indicates that the times are so crucial that we have to take the painful plunge. The saddest thing of all is that families who came to think that they could no longer bear the brunt of their debts tend to be suicidal. Especially if they could no longer see any light along the road.

However, to collectors of vinyl discs, they would no longer be running out of money during the rainy days because their collection would save them from hunger. I mean these rare vinyl records could be sold to the market or could be auctioned. Who is happy? Those owners of vinyl records are very happy.

The fundamental way to reach economic security is to diversify your assets. Think again Vinyl Records could save your day.
