Yes, Audacity will work fine, I use it as my primary recording software (as I am blind and it is verry user friendly).

That's what I used to record these albums and glad it can used to make lossless files. I'll record them again soon and check how they turn out. Thanks again. ;)

No problem. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. It took me a long time (and a lot of trial and error) to figure this stuff out, so glad I could be of help.

SoCalRyan, when you originally recorded these LPs using Audacity the raw sound files were likely in lossless format. You have options in Audacity to export those -aup files in any number of lossless (FLAC, etc.) or lossy formats (MP3, etc.).
So in the future you can easily export the aup files as FLAC, for example, rather than lossy MP3. Also, you may not need to re-record the LPs if you still have the original Audacity files.

Thank you for the further advice stackjackson.  :)

Hey SoCalRyan, I had the same issues myself- I'm not very techy and it took me an age to work out the way to do it.   Most would agree rare LPs in any format is still good and certainly better than nothing.  Thanks again.
I now use Audacity as Stack described with no issues.

Hey guys, it took me a couple of days, but I re-recorded all my records and converted them to FLAC files. I just hope they stay lossless this time. Here are the links and thank you for all the help.
