I have not touched my LPs for 20 years or so... maybe it's time I got a new turnrable, plug it in, go get the LPs and start converting them too. I've done something similar with DIVX videos when it took several hours to convert a 90-min DVD movie -- hmm.. that's a big story, fit for a separate post!
By the way, the first time I looked at this post's drawing, I thought it was a "caravan" of planes dropping bombs, like in a WW2 Blitz...
