Success! Turns out my turntable wasn't pre-amped properly — I reconfigured it since the last time I burned CDs, and obviously didn't do it right. The tracks from Color Me Gone, Unsophisticated Time and Match Game are all re-posted and perfectly audible now.

Thanks for the tips, guys.

Hi Jon. If you're running on Windows, try this. (I had the same issue when I first started ripping my vinyl).

1. Double click on the little speaker in the sys tray. This will open the Volume Control panel.
2. Click on the Options menu and then Properties.
3. Make sure the radio button for Recording is checked and then check the Line In box.
4. Try ripping again.

Good luck.

I can hook you up with the "Match Game" tracks. Go here:

Great stuff on Marti, Thanks. About the low recording level on the early tracks – don't know you're setup, have you tried burning vinyl to cd, then to popdose.

Yeah, I know, the levels on the stuff from the first three albums is low–I ripped them from vinyl, and for some reason couldn't get the recording levels any higher than this. I've been trying to figure out the problem, and if I can it work I'll repost the tracks and let you know.

I don't know if anyone has pointed it out yet, but the volume level on these downloads is so low, you can barely hear them. And pumping them up does no good, it sounds terrible. Can they be fixed? I was looking forward to hearing these, very much! Thanks
