No, what you were basically saying is that he should download the files which are rare and hopefully find the files at a bit rate of 192+ not 256+. Granted most people could not hear a difference of a wave file and a mp3 recorded in certain types of mp3 formats at high a bit rate. The problem arises when you try and take that mp3 file and convert it back to wav and burn it.
As for recording a vinyl track to harddrive if you knew anything about the capabilities of the software available you would not of made the comments about sound quality of restored vinyl.

some reading if you are interested.
Back to alexliszt question, if you are interested is just recording you vinyl it is a simple process. that can be done with your on board sound card, a turntable, and sometype of preamp to bring the signal to line level, with good results. If you would like a copy of a treasured album that rivals the best digitally remastered SACDs get a good card, Terratec, or a card from tracertek. I thoroughly enjoy spending time working on a album that you just can't find, restoring, and listening to the end result.
