My CDs were ripped to MP3 years ago but the vinyl sits in faux egg crates daring me to recreate it all. I did re-buy some of it on CD and MP3 but not the bulk of it.
I have a working turntable so plugging the computer into the tape-out jack on the stereo has always been an alternative but it's been hard to work up the enthusiasm. I remember making mix tapes in the analog days and it sure was time consuming but, for some reason, it was time to add some of those albums to the music we listen to. I set up a patch cord and used CD Spin Doctor which is a part of Toast 8 to record the incoming audio to a file.
The software will guess at where to break up the tracks and it did a yeoman's job on The Best of Carly Simon but failed completely with Santana.
I spent about 4 hours this afternoon to rip 3 albums. Not bad for a first try.
