Dear Simon
Is it legal, in the UK ? No but you are unlikely to be prosecuted for
copying your own albums for personal use
£14.99 per album dropping to £9.99 if you have more than 10 copied. Not a
bad mark up for a 30p CD-R Even the record company give some of the money
to the artist.
Why !!! You can buy most things on CD anyway. You can buy most CDs new for
about £10. e-bay sell loads of second hand CDs from about £1
If you have to copy your own albums surely it would be cheaper to use you PC
and soundcard to burn a copy of tapes ? If you sold your turntable why keep
your records ?
Just my 2C

Hi,
I have loads of old cassettes and vinyl albums which hardly ever get
played. I don't have a turntable anymore. I do have cassette players
in the house and car but I'm so used to CDs now and not having to
rewind and being able to select individual tracks that I just don't
listen to the music on cassettes or vinyl anymore.
I have looked around the web for ideas and amongst the sites I have
found which offer to transfer old music onto CD, the service offered
by www.indicativeit.co.uk/yourmusiconcd looks quite simple and
professional.
However I am a little concerned about:
1) is it legal? Either for me to possess CD copies and for the web
site company to copy them?, and
2) I'm a little worried about posting my precious old music via the
UK's postal system. Has anyone done this to Your Music On CD or a
similar postal service and did they get their original music back ok?
Thanks, Simon
