Yeah. Tedious describes the process. If you really want to preserve them Randy is bang on here. I wouldn't consider MP3s to be worth the effort but many may disagree due to the convenience & cost factor. I have some properly digitized 'LPs' & the results can be very good. But I have not & will not ever get around to do my pile. I would agree that cleaning is critical. Especially with classical music. A lot of metadata is out there via iTunes, freedb etc but you will probably have to scan a fair bit.
