Sound quality is essential = digital rips only

Having a pleasure in listening obscure records in good sound quality is more important than collecting poor rips. Sound quality of majority of YouTube rips also many tracks from CD compilations is very poor and such copies are disregarded. Making a good rip is very simple, modern (produced in the XXI century) turntable and Audacity (freeware) is all that you need. I have prepared  

Vinyl-to-PC (Tutorial)

Please follow the guidelines. You can purchase a 45, make a rip and send mp3 to me - I prefer raw rips and my own remastering.

Every single track is remastered (1), iZotope RX7 licensed software and Audacity freeware are applied. All files are properly tagged.

(1) remastering = fixing any shortcomings of the ripped vinyl or the transferred CD track (de-click, de-noise, normalization, intro/outro silence of 0.75/2.00). The frequency spectrum is not "improved", it remains unchanged, as the norm.

File Naming and Tagging - Tips

 

99% of songs posted on the Internet are improperly named and tagged, including CDs. Common mistakes:

1.       Many tags are added to Filename. Use a clean, consistent format like Artist - Title or Track - Artist - Title. Artist and Title are obligatory, do not add other tags, such as Year, Genre, Label, etc., add them to internal tags (metadata).

https://gomusic1.com/knowledge/importing-data-2/whats-the-best-way-to-name-my-audio-files/ 

2.       The Filename differs from the internal tag (metadata) that shows in music players. Very often content of internal tag does not correspond to its description, e.g. tag described as Title contains both Title and Artist.

3.       Do not add “& The Group” in both Filename and Artist tag – all songs are recorded with The Group of musicians, except acapella, and adding “& The Group” does not add any information.

4.       In many cases, song titles do not follow common title capitalization rules. Following capitalization rules used in popular libraries of music is recommended = every word in Title should be capitalized.
In Artist tag, use ampersand (&) and short-form abbreviations (w. or w/; ft.), Forename Surname & ...
