Subj: Re: [kl] Vinyl to CD?

>I have tried converting vinyl to CD, and it can be done, but when I decided
that I wanted to be able to convert my extensive record collection I finally
settled on converting to Minidisc.

The only reason I wouldn't suggest that is because you're copying it to the "Beta" instead of "VHS" format. Whether or not any method is technologically superior to anothern is a moot point when the players are unavailable in a few years.

CD-R gives us about 20 years in normal storage conditions to find a better medium for archival purposes. After 20 years it's expected that "bit rot" will start setting in.

Cheers,
