What music are you listening to?

[marshlander]

Congrats on the start... should I ever get so much energy... how are you going about digitizing them? Are you happy so far? How large are the files?

Thanks, it's quite daunting and in all likelihood will never be finished :eek:

I plugged the deck (a Thorens TD 160) into a Rotel RA 611 hi-fi amplifier (they show my age), taking a line level output from the amp into Logic on my G4 laptop via a MotU 828 Mkll audio interface. The AIF files seem to be about 195mB per side. I am wondering whether to leave the music in its slightly crackly state or to attempt optimising it through something like Sound Soap before I see whether I can bear the sound of them as MP3s.

I don't have an MP3 player, but we used an i-Pod Touch to play the bride and groom's choice of half-time music (while we were taking a break) when we played for their wedding reception on Saturday. I was shocked at how dreadful the sound was. Is that what MP3s are supposed to sound like? ... truly horrible!!!
