You mentioned you can label the tracks. Is this digitally encoded, so it would appear on an IPOD, etc .....? I have a couple of cd's people burned for me from lp's, but when I put them on my IPOD, the tracks are not identified. Once you get used to that, it's pretty hard to live without. I have a pretty large LP collection still, including "Blue & Grey", which I would love to convert. The labeling issue, and interface with my IPOD would probably be the deciding factor. I'm sitting on some Best Buy gift cards I got for my 50th Birthday too!
