My cassette recordings of the John Peel show from the late 70s and 80s are priceless. Most of the tracks are on Youtube these days but that can't capture the selections and John Peel's legendary commentary between each track. I hope to pass them on to my grandchild one day.
- whenchamenia 7y agoWhy not share them for the rest of humanity?
- cutler 7y agoBecause the sound quality is fading fast and needs transcribing to MP3, which I'm in the middle of. Unfortunately cassette sound quality deteriorates after 40 years.
- thirdsun 7y agoIf you actually do this I can only hope that you'd use a lossless audio format like FLAC. Even if the fidelity of a cassette recording might not reach the limitations of a lossy codec, you should only consider lossless audio for creating a future-proof archive and collection of music. I think you should do it and provide access to others - I'm sure countless like-minded people would love it.
