opinions sought: technology for organizing the home collection
Say you are a typical recorded sound consumer, and over the last who
knows how many years you accumulated
- hundreds vinyl LPs, some vinyl singles, and maybe even some old 78s
- hundreds cassette tapes, prerecorded and your own recordings
- hundreds CDs, prerecorded and your own recordings
with pop, jazz, classical music and spoken word.
Now you decide to invest the effort to put it all in one medium, so you
can throw away the turntable and the cassette deck. What will you do?
Convert the vinyl and tapes to .wav files and put them all on CDs that
you can play in CD players and on your computer?
Convert everything into MP3 files, back them up on DVDs, and download
them into your iPod or home system as needed?
Any other options?
Regarding the MP3 option, if you tried such project, have you run into
any problems? Are you happy with the sound quality?
