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.

Has anyone used Your Music on CD's service here?

I've used them a couple of times and have no complaints. My first
order was back in May and was just a single vinyl album. I think I
posted it on the Monday and got the CD back on the Thursday or Friday!
CD case looked professional with full track listing on the reverse. CD
quality was amazing. You can still hear a bit of hiss when the volumne
is turned right up for a quiet section of a track but as I've said -
no worse than before.

I was so impressed I ended up sending about 15 albums/cassettes in the
end. They obviously do some sort of cleaning or noise reduction before
burning onto CD because there's hardly any scratches or jumps.
