Your Music On CD
 

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

It seems amazingly cheap for the amount of work involved but surely it
would be better to buy a CD copy of the albums you want transferred.
There are very few vinyl albums that have not been transferred to CD and
a CD recorded direct from the master tape is going to sound better than
a quick transfer from vinyl. There are plenty of online places selling
CD's for under a tenner.

Legally you aren't allowed to copy records at all in the UK (the concept
of fair use is American) but no-one is likely to worry about a single
backup copy. However, if you were to buy the CD, you could possibly also
sell the vinyl version on to a collector quite legally.

I do this kind of transfer work for people and, so far, I've found the
postal service reliable. However, even though things have been OK so
far, I don't like sending the only copy of anything through the post.

Cheers.

James.

Depends how they are doing it. I'd imagine an enterprising engineer could
rig a jukebox-like machine to copy many albums overnight. Acceptable
crackle removal can be done automatically for all but the most damaged
albums, and single guy couldn't record several LPs at once on a PC with 5
or so soundcards. If they are connecting to CDDB and use standard templates
track lising takes seconds.

I have copied LP to CD many times for friends around here, with excellent
results from just consumer level equipment. I would deffinately send by
courier, which might even be cheaper for a good few heavy vinyl records.

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

Thanks James, Jim & Richard for your replies.

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.

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.

If the quality of the cd sleeve is that important, just go to

Don't bother with the link as the covers for audio CD's were pulled from the
site due to the music industry using it's usual big brother tactics
threatening the site with massive legal action.
It's a pity as I used to use the site for downloading covers for my vinyl I
was converting to CD. The thing is if you're going to rip off a CD you
haven't got you'll just scan the inserts anyway and not bother with the
site. The music industry doesn't do itself any favours with this and the
quality inhibiting anti-copying it uses. Then it makes massive profits and
complains about how pirating is losing them so much money and the price of
the CD's goes up to encourage more copying!
Covers for any other type of media, such as DVD's, are still on the site.

Dear Simon
Is it legal, in the UK ? No but you are unlikely to be prosecuted for
copying your own albums for personal use

snip

I can remember some years ago the music industry attempted to prosecute
somebody in court for recording vinyl albums they'd brought onto cassette
tape for listening to while in their car. The music industry was arguing
that you had to but the music in two different formats if you wanted to
listen to vinyl at home but tape in the car. What they were effectively
saying was you had to pay twice for the same music. This was despite the
fact that you pay a tax for royalties when purchasing blank cassette tapes
and these days the same tax for the blank CD-R's specifically marked for
audio copying.
I watched this case with interest and the judgement went against the music
industry. It was decreed that you were indeed allowed to copy music for your
own use if you had paid and still held the original copy. This was stated at
the time that the payment of the tax on the cassette tape had in fact paid
the royalties for the additional copy. If you ever disposed of the original
copy then you're obliged to also destroy or dispose of the copies with the
original copy.

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

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.
