Try digitizing vinyl to make your brain implode.

Heh! heh! Wouldn't even contemplate that... again it's the sheer volume of the stuff that puts me off.
I did digitise a few ancient cassette tapes with Magix software a few years ago. If you're only doing a little bit and can mess about with the software, the results were quite amazing

Well into the Bs now... discovered that SWMBO brought a BjÃ¶rk CD to our relationship. Not sure how I feel about that.... oh well on with Black Sabbath

I think I'd either be crying or violently happy. :-/

Can't find some university students to do it for less?

Just throwing out ideas.

Half way through C now.

Frankly I'm of the opinion that if you want a job doing properly, do it yourself but take the necessary time.

How would that Â£1k stack up against buying them all on Amazon, iTunes and the like? What about Spotify or any similar offerings?

I'd get about 10-20% of it assuming Â£5 per album average... and still be downloading at doomsday

Half a shelf of "D" to go (it's a 4ft shelf) until I get to Dire Straits

NotTheStig · Wednesday October 3, 2012

You didn't get someone else to rip them for you? I'm sure someone would do it - it's Money for Nothing.

I shall expect puns galore as I progress... wondering if SWMBO brought a Cher CD to the relationship too... worrying stuff. I know I didn't buy it (or indeed transact for it in any way... including being given it, finding it or any other acquisitive step on my part)

NotTheStig · Wednesday October 3, 2012

Well you are rather inviting the puns by revealing the details of your... sorry, your other half's... CD collection. If you could turn back time, eh?

I wonder what casually dropping De Danaan into the conversation will do?

hunnymonster · Thursday October 4, 2012

I have reached Dire Straits. But since I have to be up at 4am tomorrow, I shall leave it there. 38 gig of MP3s alone (eek!)

If you are worried about data loss then I suggest you back up all your music files onto some sort of optical disc.

Hmmmm... optical disc as a backup... Do you mean something like the original CDs?

Have fun HM - I started my collection a while ago, dir a few hundred CDs and then stopped - I think that Summer came - or some such rubbish excuse... I was ripping to FLAC so the ripped album sizes were pretty big - I think I need to get another, larger HDD to keep the music on. Maybe I'll pick it up again this Winter.

I'm well into the "S" section now... Sky, Smokie, The Smiths, Snow Patrol, Springsteen...

Sounds like my music collection you have there.
