That is worrying , so much content get lost over time . Ironically it would not cost a fortune to fix , digitising is easy especially on the cheap with not over much post processing ( avoid the LP tweaked master ,get something earlier if possible ) and yield a much better result than the horrible " remaster " process that just give you overcompressed loud version for the money . Sell these on the net as flac downloads after a surprisingly small number of sales you have fincanded the work for a skilled engineer to transfer the tape, no CD's to press or anything just scan the original covers too ? Absolutely everything * could * be aviable and backups ? Heck if say 1000 person downloads it ,it will be there for a very long time . That's another thing with distributed personal files ,some will never go away there are millions of copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95885 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
