Thanks Nick for the Foobar2000 recommendation. If I dig into it, it might be what I’ve been looking for since I downloaded all my Google Play Music tracks and Apple Music Match failed to match most of them. I’m enjoying Apple Music now that it’s got lossless, but I still want an offline library of my own music.
The Web Archive is great. You can listen to old 78 recordings! When we left Portland I sold my turntable and all my records, including a box of rare 78s to a guy who followed me out of the record store that wasn’t interested in them. As the guy scampered away with his $5.00 crate of shellac, my friend shook his head and said, “He looks way too happy.” Up until last week when I checked the Web Archive, I’d never seen some of those songs anywhere, but the Andrew’s Sisters “Avocado Song” is up there free for all. I got that guy’s $5 and he probably threw out his back hustling that crate down the street.
