No, I have been delighted! I have recently had six records transferred
and all are excellent. The sound is slightly better than I can get off
the records myself (using my Shure M75E cartridge and Thorens TD150
turntable with Thorens pickup arm). They seem to have struck the right
balance between removing major clicks and reducing general surface noise
without degrading the sound. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no
connection with the firm other than as a customer.

Right, at last feedback direct from a customer. Given your good
experience, I must withdraw my previous suggestion that the very low
price was too good to be true and seemed suspicious. I can only
conclude that the people doing this service don't actually need the
money, and are doing it for philanthropic reasons. I shall add their
URL to the list I send to people who ask me if I offer such a service.

Surely *most* LP's are available on CD these days? I've certainly picked
up
a lot of stuff on CD that was once considered rare or unobtainable on
album - and usually for a lot less than 12 quid

Sorry, of course this is a given. If the album is available on CD,
then buy it. Only transfer an LP if one of the following applies:
1. Not available on CD.
2. CD version is badly mastered.
3. CD version is altered in some way (eg. remixed, abridged, etc).



Or unless you just happen to prefer the sound of the LP version.....

(Happened on this group a few times, a week or two back!)

You've got to remember that 12 quid is just the cost for transferring
a single album. If you send them more than 10 the cost drops to _7.99

The only person who would do it cheaper would be CMOT dibbler.

if you had an hour of music it'd take at least an hour to do proper QC
on it, let alone rip it in the first place!

8 ukp over 2 hours (min) is 4ukp / hour. thats worse than manual labour
wages.

Precisely. That's why I said that I couldn't reconcile their
advertised process with their prices. I was trying to be tactful in my
first post, but let's get our cards on the table: something smells
distinctly fishy about what they are offering.

I feel you are being a little hard on Your Music On CD. I as well as a
few other posters here have used their service and the overwhelming
opinion seems to be that they provide a good service. I haven't yet
seen a negative comment by a customer.

The other point I'd like to make is that the prices being quoted are
promotion prices for Christmas until 18th Dec. Standard prices are 20%
more.

They probably cannot charge much more becuase if they did, more
prospective customers would simply buy the music they already have on
CD instead.

Fair comment.

Just to be clear, Whilst I was saying they are very cheap, it does
appear that people here think the quality is good, and I havent heard a
complaint yet.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are tasty and good with
ketchup.

If only. Although a surprising amount has had a limited CD release,
there's still a lot of cult 70s material that isn't available.
