Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a vinyl LP record, it can play for 20 – 25 minutes for each side with a maximum of 45 minutes. There are a couple of exceptions to this that can go up to 52 minutes and these were usually Broadway or classical LPs. The 78s were meant for singles and run 3 – 4 minutes on each side, and the 45s run about the same because they usually have one song on each side.
Usually by the size or the speed written on the label. The 12″ records are the 33s, the 10″ records are the 78s and the 7″ records are the 45s. If you’re unsure, our team will let you know what kind of record you have!
If you’ve taken good care of your vinyl records, there’s no reason you shouldn’t expect a beautiful lp to CD conversion. That being said, as with all analog video & audio formats, if they are damaged or in rough shape it can affect the quality, but our audio technicians are incredibly talented and experienced and will get the most out of any vinyl LP you share with us. For example, your 78 records are made out of shellac, not vinyl. These records predate your 33s and 45s by decades, so they’ve seen more wear and shellac is proven to have a shorter shelf-life than vinyl. Any wear and tear on this particular format are going to cause more distortion in your digital copy.
This is a surprisingly common request, mainly because vinyl covers were awesome. Thankfully, EverPresent has a huge image scanning department and a fleet of oversized scanners. We’re happy to scan your album covers and include a high resolution .jpg file at the beginning of each folder of audio files.
We do. Our vinyl digitizing process uses various optimizations, but the big one is called a decrackle filter. Vinyl records crackled a bit initially, and a lot as they aged over the years. Sophisticated decrackle filters remove the distracting level of this noise while retaining the true vinyl sound. We also do equalizing and anti-hiss filters when appropriate.
The great news is that vinyl players are still being made and the new models are good and have convenient outputs for digitizing on a computer. Our process involves advanced interfaces and premium connections that get the most out of the sound, along with optimizing software. But if you want to try this at home, for $300-400 you can get a perfectly solid vinyl player. The key for us and anyone is to keep the needle clean and have replacement needles on hand. Doing a high volume digitizing project on vinyl will wear out the needle quicker than you think.
We always recommend getting a set of .mp3 files from your vinyl recordings as they are easiest to play and compatible with smartphones. But if you are a real audiophile, we’re happy to give you a redundant set of larger .wav files. If your ear can tell the difference, it’s a minimal expense since we start all vinyl transfers as .wav files and then re-encode them to .mp3 or CDs. And the additional USB sizes are just a few dollars more. We rarely push upgrades like this, but .wav file sets are cheap enough that you shouldn’t shy if you want one.

Did you know Thomas Edison actually invented the first phonograph in 1877? Also known as a gramophone record, LP record or most commonly known as a vinyl record. This analog format has a long history and even though they are still manufactured on a small scale, they left the mainstream around 1991. If you have any sort of record you want to convert to CD, the most popular ones our audio technicians capture on a day-to-day basis are the 78s, 45s and 33s. When we convert vinyl records to CD, you also receive a digital file done by an experienced audio technician and captured directly to the computer before undergoing our extensive quality control process then burned to CD. Most vinyl records will fit onto one CD and you can also share the downloadable mp3 files.
