[Dixielandjazz] Report Back on Lo Tech CDS from Records & Tapes

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Several month ago I asked for listees experience or advice on  equipment 
that would convert records and cassettes to CDs.  I thought I  would report 
back on my getting the only piece of equipment I was aware of at  the time.  
It is the one listed first below; i.e., from First Street.   I have now made 
CDs from both a couple of records and CDs.  It does do what  it purports to 
do.  Now I have to find time to make use of it, but am happy  I bought it.  
The process does take a fair amount of "baby  sitting".  You have to stay 
right with it to accomplish your goal -- it's  not something you can program 
then walk away.
 
There must be some increasing demands for these products.  Recently I  have 
had two more catalogs come in offering very similar, but not identical  
products.  These are identified below for you to google if you are  interested.
