Hmm, if I haven't got a digital point in the wrong place, I reckon I'd
need
2.4 Tb...!!!

Dabs.com are selling 512GB USB hard drives for less than £200.....

And 750 Gb disks for £275, but I doubt I have enough time left *myself* to
'digitise' about 4,000 LPs!!

(The TB hard disks can't be far away now....!!??)

Already here, mate:

That's a nifty bit of kit, but I was referring to standard 3.5" (internal)
HDDs.



However, as you say, it's the real time needed to digitise 4,000 LPs
that kills ya!


I've no intention of digitising anything other than what I want specifically
to play in the car, but there is the option to record everything you play on
a 'might as well' basis, if you have got enough storage - whether or not you
ever get round to doing anything with it!!

One thing's for sure, disregarding personal preference issues for a moment,
there is a lot of music on existing LPs that will never be performed (or
recorded) better than it already has been!!
