I've started popping into my local record store and picking up cheap vinyl here and there to Rip/Convert to CD. I'll rip it to a cd recorder in my rack, then import it into Adobe Audition (usually, or sometimes SoundForge or CD Architect) to clean it up and split it into tracks. I haven't had any issues with the sound quality deteriorating after removing surface noise, and I get new music at (typically) $1.99 a pop...
