Step 1:

Getting started

Let's play a word-association game. If we say "Ozzy Osbourne" and you say "Black Sabbath," chances are there's a crateful of treasured vinyl somewhere among your possessions. Those LPs may be classics to you, but they're out of place in today's CD- and MP3-driven world. No need to freak out, though--just dig out the old bandanna, turn on the lava lamp, and fire up some incense. We're transporting yesterday's albums and cassette tapes into the digital age.
