Audacity vs. Audiograbber vs. ?
I have a lot of vinyl I would like to digitize. I have used Audiograbber, but recently heard about Audacity. Which would be better. In Audiograbber, any sort of filter requires buying a program from another vendor. Does Audacity have any bells and whistles to do things like this?

Audacity is completely free. You can download LAPSDA (sp?) plugins that have a plethora of different effects, including some different EQ options.... including tube saturation, now that I think about it. I just ran through it real quick and I saw low-pass, bandpass, all kinds of stuff. Good times.
There is also a VST bridge option you can use it grab VST plugins and incorporate them into Audacity as well, so if you find a good tape saturation VST or harmonic exciter or filter or whatever (there are a lot of free VST plugins out there, too) you can load it in for no cost at all.
It does have some basic EQ right from the get-go, too.
Good luck!

I've never used Audiograbber, but I know Audacity will do what you need it for just fine. When you download Audacity it won't tell you this until you try and export as an mp3, but you need to find a certain patch (which they tell when you try and export for the first time as mp3) and it just takes a google search to find it. With Audacity you can EQ and add Fades and use filters no problem.
Audacity is a good beginners program
