My numpty brother decided to do this a few years ago and pissed away in excess of $600 in hardware and software in order to transcribe a dozen albums....of course, I pointed out that he could have just bought them on CD for considerably less than he spent on the means to computerize them.

Last I heard, he was making noises about selling all of the stuff on ebay and hopefully recouping some of his "investment".

Well...this guy thought that Amiga was going to be THE computing platform as well...go figger.

I have heard of a site where they are posting digitized versions of recorded stuff that is so obscure that they consider it a public service to "pirate" it and make it available just to keep it "alive". While I generally don't agree with infringing on anyone's copyright, I do draw a line past which something that's rare should be made available one way or another to preserve it.

I have yet to hook everything up and digitize some discs...it's not difficult with a Mac.

Best
