So true - I hope the people storing the digital master are showing some
diligence - it's a constant battle to move digital information from the
soon to be obsolete media to a new one ... the good thing is that the
new ones are cheaper and faster. A couple times a week I put a 10 or
20 cds on the hard drive and hopefully when i fill it up there will be
a bigger cheaper hard drive to move to...
chasin' my tail ...
np Silver Sun - i got two copies and the second half does not want to
rip on either ... both crash my windows and mac systems - but only at
the end on the disc - musta been a weird run
