What types of vinyl records does Heirloom digitize?

Heirloom digitizes all standard vinyl record sizes, including 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch records. This includes singles, EPs, LPs, and one-of-a-kind recordings. Each record is inspected to ensure safe playback and accurate capture.

How are vinyl sides and tracks delivered digitally?

Each side of a vinyl record is transferred into its own digital audio file. This preserves the original structure of the recording and makes it easy to listen, organize, and share.

What digital format will my vinyl recordings be delivered in?

Digitized vinyl recordings are delivered as MP3 files at 128 kbps. This widely supported format balances sound quality with easy playback across phones, computers, and modern audio devices.

Can Heirloom digitize warped or imperfect records?

Slightly warped records can often be digitized safely. However, records with deep warping caused by heat exposure—such as those left in hot cars or attics—may not be playable. Digitizing vinyl early is especially important for rare or irreplaceable recordings.

Does Heirloom remove background noise from vinyl?

Heirloom reduces obvious playback noise when possible, but focuses on creating a faithful 1-to-1 digital capture that preserves the original character of the recording rather than overprocessing the audio.

Can I enhance or clean up the sound after digitization?

Yes. After digitization, you can use many digital audio tools to reduce noise, adjust levels, or enhance clarity to your personal taste, without risking damage to the original vinyl.

How are my digitized vinyl files delivered?

Your digitized audio files are delivered to your secure Heirloom digital vault, where they can be streamed or downloaded anytime. Original vinyl records are carefully returned after processing.

$9.99 ~~$20.00~~

Heirloom's vinyl to digital service makes it easy to preserve your priceless record collection before age, wear, and repeated playback reduce sound quality. We professionally digitize LPs, 45 RPM records, and 78 RPM records, converting each recorded side into its own 128 kbps MP3 digital audio file that's easy to listen to, organize, download, and share.

Whether you're sending vinyl records, audio tapes, reel-to-reel tapes, photographs, slides, negatives, videotapes, or other media, simply send everything together. Heirloom specialists carefully inspect every item, identify exactly what you've sent, verify it can be digitized, and prepare a detailed, itemized quote.

There is no counting, no guesswork, and no obligation. During our free inspection, Heirloom specialists identify every record format, inspect each record for damage, and email you a detailed, no-obligation quote. We begin digitizing only after you've approved the quote and submitted payment.

Why Use a Vinyl to Digital Service?

Vinyl records slowly wear with every playback. Dust, scratches, improper storage, and aging can permanently affect sound quality, while record players become increasingly difficult to maintain. Professional digitization preserves your recordings in a modern digital format that can be streamed, downloaded, organized, and shared without additional wear to your original records.

Why Choose Heirloom?

Most record digitization companies expect you to identify your records and estimate your order before sending anything.

Heirloom doesn't.

Simply send your collection, and Heirloom specialists will:

Identify every type of media you send
Classify every record format
Inspect every record for condition
Verify every record can be digitized
Prepare a detailed, itemized quote
Answer any questions before work begins

Only after you've reviewed and approved your quote do we begin digitizing your recordings.

Which Vinyl to Digital Service should I order?

You don't have to choose. Simply send your records, and Heirloom specialists will identify whether they're LPs, 45 RPM, or 78 RPM records during your free inspection. We'll verify they can be digitized and email you a detailed, no-obligation quote before any work begins.

Can you digitize scratched vinyl records?

Often, yes. Heirloom can successfully digitize many records with light to moderate scratches, surface wear, and warping. While we carefully capture the highest-quality audio possible, we can't reproduce music or sounds that have already been permanently lost due to severe groove damage or excessive wear.

How will I receive my digitized records?

Heirloom assigns every record a unique tracking number before digitizing it. Each recorded side is delivered as its own 128 kbps MP3 file in your private Heirloom cloud, with the file names corresponding to the tracking number on the original record. You can immediately stream, download, organize, and share your recordings, add an optional Heirloom Flash Drive to your order, and your original records can be safely returned.

Will my records stay organized?

Yes. Heirloom assigns every record a unique tracking number before digitization. Your MP3 files are delivered in correspondingly named digital folders, making it easy to match every recording to its original LP, 45 RPM, or 78 RPM record.

Will my vinyl recordings be AI enhanced?

No. Heirloom's vinyl to digital service is focused on creating the highest-quality digital capture of your original recordings before they deteriorate further. We faithfully preserve the audio contained in the record without using AI to recreate missing music or sounds. AI restoration and advanced audio editing are best performed later by the content owner, preserving an original digital master while allowing enhanced copies to be created using future software and your own preferences.
