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.

Well I filled in Your Music on CD's
(www.indicativeit.co.uk/yourmusiconcd) online order form last Thursday
morning and I got my music back this morning!

I decided to send my albums and cassettes to them by courier for piece
of mind but also to allay worries that the Postal Strike might delay
things. I requested that they sent my music and new CDs back to me by
special delivery (for which I expected to pay extra) but I got an
email from them saying that they would do this for me at no charge
because of the Postal Strike. I thought that was kind of them.

The new CDs are fine. It's great to hear my old music again - no
rewinding - easy track selection, and the sound quality is great - as
near as damm it - CD quality.

Definately use them again. I think I might get all my dad's old albums
transferred onto CD for his Christmas present!

Thanks to all those who replied

Simon

An LP jukebox? Did such a thing ever exist?


Yes. It was called an 'autochanger'.

It can be no better than if played on a good cassette machine or record
deck. So a great deal short of CD quality.

For most people a good quality record deck is - as near as damn it - CD
quality ;)

Besides, I think a remastered LP can *sound* better than played on a good
turntable, given proper digital filtering to remove hiss and crackle.

It would be some auto changer with 500 discs stacked on it.


I suspected as much. £10 seems resonable, but not so amazingly cheap as has
been sugested. If you consider it might take a few operator hours to sample
a few thousand LPs (with several changers feeding a unix sampling box at
once)

Possibly the most time consuming bit is keeping all the burners fed with
blanks, I've never seen a cd-r changer.

There are plenty around - from the 50 disc capacity ones made by Primera
to the massive ones made by Otari.

Cheers.

James.
