What is the best way to rip your vinyls to mp3? What hardware/software do you need? What settings do you need?
Can you rip/encode in real time, or do you need to rip to wav first?
Any recommendations on software and hardware is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I hold the vinyl in my hands, then I rip it in 2.

You run it through any kind of pre-amp (external or simply your mixer) and plug that one into your line-in of your soundcard. Then you download a program like www.goldwave.com and set the recordsource to line in. Rip away & afterwards encode. Use other programs like "hard disk ogg" to encode directly to mp3

why? i agree with keithos, he just wants to know, now if you want a mp3-fued, you just have to trigger the right words, and atm no one has said anything

I pretty much my mixer into my comp via the soundcard and record my sets that way also.
Nothing big. Program-wise, I use Sound Forge for now, unless someone has a better suggestion.
Ripping MP3s are how I take me tracks with me in the car and at work.

just hook one of your out's on your mixer to you PC soundcard input, and in your mixer control select line in/mic as your recording source. i would recommend these programs:
AudioMagic
Records from any source (read: line in) IN REALTIME and you can choose to record in various MP3 bitrates or in WAV format. By realtime I mean as your recording it saves directly to your harddrive so you don't have an 803 MB wav file sitting in your /WIN/TEMP folder and then when you try to save the file for some reason your out of space!
GrooveMechanic
Good for recording individual records, you can record in realtime and before saving you can mark tracks and extract them seperately so in this way you can record the whole side at once than split it into tracks later. This program records in WAV only.
...I use audiomagic for my live sets and groovemechanic for individual records, like what your doing.
