REQUIREMENTS:


Step 1

Record the album with an auxillery cable. I use FFmpeg doing this: ffmpeg -f pulse -ac 2 -i default out.flac. Some record players with USB ports, which includes my own, can save audio to a USB drive. Most record players don't, and even though mine does, it outputs everything to mono instead of stereo, so that's why I'm using an aux cord here.

Step 2

Do whatever until the album ends.

Step 3

Install Audacity because I forgot to before doing all of this.

Step 4

Cut each of the tracks into their own files.

Step 5

Take a decent enough picture of the album, open it in Gimp, and grab it from the image using the free select tool.

Step 6

Make a new 1:1 image that's fairly high resolution, paste the album cover into it, and then add anchors to each tip of the cover using the handle transform tool.

Step 7

Stretch the cover to fill out the whole image and export it. Depending on how bad the lighting is, you might mess with some of the properties.

Step 8

Add tags to them and (possibly) convert them to MP3. I use a Python script for this but there might be better scripts for this purpose on Github or something.


In hindsight, I could've done a better job at filtering the image, but it's at least better than nothing.
