DATs are indeed going the way of the dinosaurs. I never liked them but the good thing about them is as long as the they're not error-killed, they easily transfer without quality loss. I'm all set up for DAT-to-DAW digital here (44.1 or 48K, whatever your DATs are). If you have material that I'm interested in, I offer very deep discounts because I consider it more a mind-expanding exercise than work. Ping me off-list if you're interested. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Miller" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Storage of audio CDs > On Sat, 1 Oct 2005, Steven C.
