That was one of the first things I thought of when contemplating buying the unit, thinking of what condition the old LPs were in to begin with and whether they were even worth salvaging.
However, for the most part I've kept the collection in good shape over the years...only a few of them were party casualties back in the day. And secondly, there's quite a few 'obscure' ones that simply weren't released on compact disc format - and unavailable on any P2Ps.
There's a ton of software out there too that does a fairly decent job of filtering out the pop and hiss if you know how to tweak the recordings. The ION itself comes with Audacity (a freeware app - not the greatest but it gets the job done).
