Publisher's Description

From Wieser Software:

RIP Vinyl is a direct to disk recorder that allows you to record from any audio source on your sound card, and produce WAV or MP3 files, which can then be burned onto a CD-R or iPod for your own personal use while away from home. The software automatically detects tracks using parameters you configure, and can record a 78 on a 45 RPM player. In addition, it automatically discards tracks shorter than a threshold.

It includes features to allow you to schedule recordings, and break tracks after a fixed time, to aid transfer of books on tape. The software compresses to disk while recording. Compression is done via Microsoft's Audio Compression Manager and can use any ACM codec that is licensed for encoding. The software includes a peak VU meter. When you install, we automatically enable the Media Player 10 MP3 encoder for use with RIP Vinyl if present. In addition, the program now supports USB turntables and tape decks, allowing you to listen on your PC speakers or headphones while recording from these devices.

"Demos are NOT Free Software"

September 09, 2015 / Version: RIP Vinyl 4.4

2015-09-09 14:21:02

Pros

Simple. Records directly to music library in whatever format you want.

Cons

Seems a bit TOO simple. The "FREE" software is NOT real. This is ONLY a lousy demo which puts beeps on the recording. The fact this is just a demo MUST be the lead off information as you look at it to download.

Summary

Anybody that promotes a demo as "FREE software" is deceiptful and can't be trusted. I will be immediately be uninstalling this software and on to something else.

"Clean and simple to use"

pacollins March 17, 2015 / Version: RIP Vinyl 4.4

2015-03-17 08:39:34 | By pacollins

Pros

Simple to use not to many bells and whistles to deal with. Have used it since 2006 and new update makes it even better. Lets me record music of my records and save the recordings to my computer. Then burn to CD's..

Cons

I can't think of any cons. Worth the $10 I paid in 2006.

"Excellent software, have used since 2004"

excellentdealz September 02, 2012 / Version: RIP Vinyl 4.4

2012-09-02 22:30:36 | By excellentdealz

Pros

Works as advertised
Very easy to use
Very configurable
Converted 1000's of hours of analog audio programs
Has never given me trouble
Ridiculous value

Cons

Seemed a little flaky on windows 7, but attribute this to windows more than I do the app.

Summary

I picked up this little app when I was running windows 2000 and paid $7USD at the time. Had used it quite a bit on XP and just upgraded to Win7. I was shocked that my ancient passcode still worked and got a free upgrade. These guys are more into just getting you to try their product than to get their hands in your pocket which I appreciate.

I don't buy much software (big fan of open source), but this little program is just what I needed to digitize my very large analog audio library. It is very cheap and you get a really good app.

"Excellent software!"

aldertond June 18, 2011 / Version: RIP Vinyl 4.4

2011-06-18 20:55:50 | By aldertond

Pros

Good functionality, easy to use, fantastic service!

Cons

Can't think of any cons

Summary

Installed earlier version (3.4) 8 years ago. Works very well indeed but have just got new laptop so thought time to load up latest version (4.04). Contacted RipVinyl support to see what involved in upgrade. WIthin 2 days got a response which was very clear and have now got the latest software loaded, ready to go. No cost for the upgrade. Exceptionally good value even 8 years ago but to be able to upgrade free of charge - very impressive. Great product, great service. Keep up the good work Wieser.

"Easy 2 use-converts cassettes & LPs 2 WMA, MP3 & WAV"

Shalnachywyt February 15, 2011 / Version: RIP Vinyl 4.4

2011-02-15 07:54:13 | By Shalnachywyt

Pros

Been using this program for at least 7 years to convert all of my really old 33-1/3 LPs and cassettes. Easy program to use, lots of ways to customize what you are recording.

Cons

Unfortunately, old LPs were sometimes done in stereo and had 2 separate channels. When U try 2 convert them directly 2 digital, 1 of the channels becomes very faint in the background. I got around it by converting LP 2 cassette & then 2 digital.

Summary

Great program. I highly recommend it.

Pros

Tech support is excellent, replied to email query within minutes and resolved issue. I have used it for years with no problems,(other than changed computer OS and had to re-install)

Cons

No cons, maybe a few noise filter controls would be a nice touch though.

Summary

Buy it, you will like it if your into one or two touch opperation devices, as I am.
