Vinyl to CD in Melbourne

We transfer records to CD, including vinyl LPs and 78s. Bring your records in as they are to discuss the job. For cine film rather than sound recordings, see Film Reels to DVD; Other Services covers the rest of the lab.

Common questions: prices and drop-off

Prices are fixed and agreed at the counter before work starts, with no hidden fees.

No appointment is needed. Bring items as they are; we do the labelling.

Audio cassettes, reel to reels and micro cassettes

We can transfer audio cassettes, reel to reels and 8-track to CD. Micro cassette transfers are also available.

Tape work is charged per tape, cleaning included. You can supply your own USB for a tape transfer.

But wait, there's more: camera discs, hard drives and conversions

We handle hard drive (HDD) video camera transfers, Mini DVD and CDR video camera discs, and NTSC to PAL conversions. For tape-based camcorders, see Video8, Hi8 & Digital8 Transfer and Conversions.

Copying existing DVDs and CDs to USB is a frequent job. We copy home-made discs or material you hold the rights to, not commercial films or albums.

How long it takes, and how your records are looked after

Timing depends on how many items you have, how busy the lab is and the condition of what you bring. A rush job costs no extra.

Every job is identified with a unique four digit sticker. Broken tapes can usually be repaired for a small fee. Your originals stay in the shop.

Copyright material

Please don't send us copyright material to transfer unless you are the copyright holder, with proof, or have written permission from the copyright holder included with your order.
