Your Music On CD
I guess the appeal of Your Music on CD's service is that it is not
really any more expensive than buying replacements CDs and I don't
have to search out suppliers. I just post off my albums/cassettes -
request special delivery so that any damage occuring during posting is
at least covered, and a few days later I get my music on CD.
To be honest, so long as the sound quality is as good as what it was
when it played on my old turntable, I'd be happy. The CDs are mainly
going to be played in the car anyway.
As regards the legality - I don't plan to sell the original media for
sentimental reasons. However I don't particularily want to have to pay
for the same albums again on different media just to continue
listening to them. The CD copies could just be considered a backup to
protect against wear and tear of the original media. In the past I've
lost some original cassettes because the tape has got mangled in a
player.
The sound quality will only be as good as on your old turntable. And
you've now got used to better.
If you're one of those people who think the distortions of vinyl are
magic, you'd have kept a turntable.
The price is cheap, but indicates that no special care will be taken
with the transfer.
