I love records. Here is some of my collection. The little boxes are 45"s

Wouldn't a Velvet Underground acetate be worth that? Aren't acetates rare?
I'm looking at the shelves buckling and I'm wincing thinking of the day that whole unit falls apart.
Yea but its the Velvet Underground so who gives a fuck

I had a cheap particle board shelf a few years ago that broke, i came home to 1000+ records FUCKED. Almost cried
alot of the stuff I listen to is not available on iTunes
I have a new shelf being built as I go back to my parents now and then. I'm really excited for it, as I designed the shelf myself. Has a an additional vertical piece in the middle that acts as a 'spine' to support the unit so no excessive weight in the middle with no support. Once its done I'll post photos.
^this.
sounds awesome. would like to see how this custom shelf looks. i just use the IKEA Expedit shelf for my vinyl and it works great. the squares are useful for dividing genres or making sections and its pretty solid. they recently discontinued the line tho, but have a new shelf that's similar called the KALLAX.

i use Gruv-Glide with the 2 muffs it comes with and just a stylus brush on the stylus between each record i play. works wonderfully.
question for you guys that rip records via USB, i have done this a few times but have never figured out a fast easy way to separate each track from one another. ive only used Audacity as it was provided free with my audio technica AT LP240 table (which is an absolute beast of a USB capable table.)
is this possible in Audacity? or do i need a different program?
Maybe dumb questions, but how long before you replace your needle? Also what do you all do for record maintenance?

maybe you should take a look into the turntable i have? it has grounding and basically is a solid higher end non-audiophile turntable within itself without even worrying about the USB bonus capability.I use a program called EZ Vinyl Convertor. It came with the USB Turntable. There is basically a CUT button that you press between songs. It still means that you have to listen to the whole record. The only drawbacks are: I get distracted and forget about a song ending, and the quality isnt amazing. There is a little buzz due to the player not coming with a grounding wire/an input for one(WHHHY???)
not sure if there's a "fast and easy" or automatic way to do it (if so I want to know abt it as well). the way I go about it with Audacity is recording tracks one at a time and saving them individually, or recording a whole side and then going back and selecting each track and saving each by selection. I find Sound Studio on Mac is pretty good, and slightly easier for this.
sooo... im guessing just eyeballing the stylus and seeing that it does not appear worn down is not good enough as far as knowing when to replace my stylus? :/
maybe i am reaching the time to replace.....
