As I said. Cleaning out the cellar. A couple of "hunerd" LPs (if you don't know what an LP is don't ask) that are slowly being "replaced" with CDs. I even have a turntable. Does anyone still collect LPs?
So, what to do with dozens of LPs ...

Dude, you could take that vinyl and scratch it old school- DJ Green!
What kinds of artists and titles do you have there?

We have a lovely collection of irreplaceable stuff on vinyl. My husband keeps saying he's going to convert it to some kind of digital format, clean it up with software and archive it, but I haven't seen any signs of that happening.

do it easy:
Oh sure, like the hip hop crowd will get into a shuffle version of Black Sabbath's "Rat Salad".
Cripes, it'll take me a while to compile a list but the main players are:
Black Sabbath: everything up to Heaven and Hell
Judas Priest: Everything up to Defenders of The Faith
The Scorpions: Up to Blackout (except for taken by force)
Kansas: up to Monolith
Pink Floyd: up to The Wall
Accept: up to Metal Heart
Queensryche: up to Rage for Order
Van Halen I and II
Ted Nugent Stranglehold, Free for All, Cat Scratch Fever
There are many solo albums as well.

H2Andy:
Sorry to disappoint you. No Slayer, Anthrax, Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, etc. either.
I do however have an autographed copy of an album by these guys: http://www.snakefoot.com/psd.htm. The name of the band is Pajama Slave Dancers. They were (in)famous for such unknown gems as Homo Truck Driving Man, Surfing Sex Machine, Scoutmasters From Hell, Farm Rap, Trainwreck on Prom Night, No Dick, and Defreeze Walt Disney.
Wildcard:
When we moved a few years back I sold more than a hundred albums on e-bay. Was shocked at what some of them got bid up to.
Put a starting bid of $2 and shipping price of $5 on them.
I think I ended up with about $500 profit (after shipping and ebay costs) on stuff I was gonna throw away otherwise.
TSandM has no faith! I told her I'm at the start of a two year project to digitize vinyl and video tape. I think I need a dual core processor to really do this right....
I have done some digitizing of records and, at least to my old ears, the sound is right -- even with some of the pops.
