Duck and Cover

So when I got my first computer capable of running something other than Windows 95, I started digitizing all my CDs, tapes, and vinyl. I had a couple thousand from when I worked at a record store. (Gave the majority of them away to friends, lost a ton, and have been using a few as ice-scrapers during the winter)

I came across my 23 MP3 backup DVDs this morning in a box in my son's room.

I listened to some real crap, but some of it is bringing back some fond memories. Mind you, all this is pre-2003 music.

But I mean holy-fuck..23 DVDs full of MP3 files...Stuff I actually paid for... Horribly sorted, nothing re-named..I'm going to spend all weekend putting everything in order.

Why am I so thrilled?

EDIT: Why the hell did I buy Mudvayne?

What do you use to record from a tape onto your computer?

I've got an old Canopus ADVC 100 box. Before that, I hooked everything to an old camcorder and ripped through that.

I say "old" but at the time, those were new toys for me.

I just saw a vinyl-to-CD unit at Target this afternoon

My dad gave one of my cousins his entire Led Zeppelin discography about six years ago hoping he'd get a bunch of CD's, I think she ended up losing them.

I found their digitally remastered discography on Pirate Bay and I burned them all for him about a month ago.
