In this case ,you back-up and you do not use it.
A friend has a box -in fact an external drive- where you can change hard drive in a very easy wa y,kind of like with tape player
I do use APE . Now i am working on original 60's psy/garage compilations,to do 'compilations of compilations ' .At this time it is tag and listening.
I rip -sorry- in Xing because it is the faster. But the final rip would be on APE for the computer and burn to normal cds for back up. Before it ,i need to rip my vinyl compilations as well. This from the start in APE.
I must have allmost 2 meters of psy/garage in cds and more in lp.Because of it Xing for a start.
And i do want to back up the lps on APE . It is hard work to rip them ,so i want to keep it for good.
When i get cds from friends i rip to APE . After this i select :delete [a lot],or to mp3 and the cream of the cream in APE.
Do anyone knows of a scanner who can scan lLP sleeves?
listening to Spinner the Rockabilly selection. The most fantastic radio for Rockabilly, but in Real stream .. so not that good.There is a kind of metalic echoe. A small one ,but the selection is so fantastic
