Tape

[jl8e]

I've got everything I need to start ripping my tapes. I just went through them for the first time in at least a decade, and there were a lot of surprises:

• I have way more tapes I never got on CD than I thought I did. (I've got 77 to rip, and another four that I have on CD, but there are differences in the track list.)
  
• There's a bunch of stuff in there that I'd completely forgotten I had.
  
• There's a few things that I don't remember ever acquiring.
  
• There's one tape that, even after looking at it and reading the track list, I still have no memory of the band or any of their songs. They'll probably ring a vague bell once I actually hear them.
  

This is going to take a while. Hopefully, not too many of the tapes have croaked.

Hm, I've a lot of tapes I need to rip.

The ripping part is easy -- once you have the hardware and software set up, you can just do it in the background as you do other things.

The post-processing is the annoying bit, because it requires actual attention.
