Have old analog assets lying around (anything from family photos to LPs)?
The clock is ticking. Here’s how to get started preserving those treasures. This series will show you how to convert your old media into a digital format. In the first article, grab your LPs and cassettes and we’ll give you a step-by-step guide for getting quality recordings that will surpass anything your CDs can offer. When exactly did the Digital Generation begin? The compact disc became commercially available in 1982. I recall getting my first home CD player along with a Magnavox stereo system for Christmas in 1987. Then, consumers were torn between buying analog LP records or cassette tapes for cheap or the same albums on CD at a substantial price premium. Eventually, of course, the digital medium won out on the virtues of dropping prices and key technical advantages. CDs didn’t warp if you left them in the sun. They didn’t click and pop with continued wear and they were much harder to damage with scratching. Best of all, they didn’t hiss like tapes in quiet passages. Audiophiles
