Vinyl Record Albums to Digital

After trying to digitize an old album, and my 50 year old turn table's belt broke, Video MVP video came to my rescue. I'm fortunate enough to live close by, so the shipping time was minimal. I encourage everybody to use their services. Well done guys, thanks again!

Video MVP Difference

No Hidden Fees

All our pricing is upfront. We'll give you an estimate when we get your order. If something comes up, we will contact you.

In-House Digitization

All transfer work is done here in our Indianapolis office. Your records stay here for conversion to digital files and CDs. We offer quick turnarounds on most services.

Audio Cleaning

After capturing, we digitally clean the audio to remove and reduce the pops and crackles that normally come with old records. Check out the samples below! These cleaning procedures are done at no extra charge.

Audio Tracks (optional)

You can choose to have your digital audio as one track or separate tracks. For music, if there is silence between songs, we can create individual files for each song. For speech, we recommend one track.

WAV / MP3 Files, or CD

Your final files can be WAV or MP3. WAV files are standard as they are uncompressed, higher quality, and a better choice if you plan to edit. MP3 files have a smaller file size. Of course if you prefer a CD, we can create that too.

Custom File Names and CD Printing

Lastly, we will name your files based on the title of the record or whatever title you would like. For CDs, we will print your title on the face of the disc. Custom named individual files and tracks are available (additional cost).

We used Video MVP to transfer a song from a 1969 high school production vinyl album to digital download. Their instructions for the process were complete and easy to follow. We had our download within one day of the album's arrival at their studio. They "cleaned up" the scratchy song and the quality of the download is wonderful. We were extremely pleased with the ease of doing business with them and the final product that we received.

Vinyl Record to Digital FAQs

My record looks dirty and may have some scratches. What can be done about that?

We physically clean each side of your record. Then after capturing the audio, we use software to "clean" the audio. Often the pops and crackles associated with playing vinyl records can be removed or reduced. Every record is different and the results will vary. In general, most record conversions turn our very well.

Do I want WAV or MP3 files?

WAV files are the default option. They are higher quality than MP3 files. Also, WAV files are the better choice for archving and editing. WAV files are roughly 5x larger in file size than MP3 files. MP3 files are smaller in file size and sound nearly the same quality as WAV files to the average person.

How do I get the audio files?

There are two options. You can choose a Cloud Delivery or USB thumb drive. For Cloud Delivery, we will upload your files to a secure location and email you a link so you can download them to your computer. This link is private and temporary, but you can share the link with whoever you like. If you prefer a USB drive, we will copy your files to the drive and return it along with your media.

Can you convert old 78 records or 45 speed singles?

Yes, we can transfer 33 1/3, 45 and 78 speed records. If you aren't sure of the speed, no worries. We can handle it!

Can I supply the USB drive for the files?

Unfortunately, no. To protect our customer's files and to maintain the security of our systems, we don't accept outside drives.

Do you offer any other file types besides WAV and MP3?

Yes. We can export your audio files into several different formats including WMA, OGG, M4A, and FLAC.

Will the conversions be in one long file or sections?

Your choice! For voice recordings, often one file (or one track on a CD) is easier to use. However, for music, individual MP3 files are a common choice. Each song will be in its own file (or track for an Audio CD). Tracks are determined automatically by the silence between songs. If the gap is too short or has sound, like a live recording, tracks will not work. Tell us about your project and we will be happy to suggest an option.

Do I get my records back after the conversion?

Yes, we give your records back to you. We also offer the option to hold your media for 30 days. Many people who ship orders to us like this option to reduce return shipping costs. This allows them to review their conversions and then after 30 days, we will dispose/recycle the media.

Can you convert a record that I purchased?

For copyrighted material, we will convert it, but we will only make one copy.

Can I ship my order to you?

Sure, just send us your records. Visit our Shipping Your Order page or just get a Audio to Digital Order Form to include with your albums. When we receive it, we will give you a price quote and an estimated completion date. Need it done fast? Let us know your deadline and we'll do whatever we can to meet it.

Notes about Audio Files

Audio files can hold hours of content in one file.
For recorded music, an individual file can be created for each song. This is dependent on gaps of silence between songs.
For live music, individual song files may not be as accurate due to crowd noise.
For speech, we recommend one file for all the audio.
WAV files are higher quality, and are recommended for archiving or if you plan to edit.
MP3 files are good for smaller file sizes.

Notes about Audio CDs

Audio CDs can only hold about 80 minutes.
For recorded music, CD tracks can be added if desired.
For speech, we recommend one track for all the audio.
Audio CD files cannot be copied off and used. However, you can use software to rip the CD and create audio files.
CDs include a custom printed text on the disc face and a space-saving CD case.

They are doing an awesome job converting some very old reel-to-reel tape recordings and vinyl albums into digital format (WAV and MP3) so that I can upload them to cloud storage and share them with other members of the choir that made the recordings in the 1960's and 1970's.
