Thanks for info so far and slothman, very interesting points!
Of course, I would like to do this as quickly as possible, but not if I lose one single bit of data or have one skip in my hard drive based file.
Other than the type of software to use, or the choice of drives, it sounds like this is still a pretty tedious and manual process?
Re ripping services, yes, I know they exist. But since even on AUDIOgon, I am constantly defending my choice of avoiding compression, I find it hard to imagine that any profiteering ripping service would really want to go to the trouble to ensure perfect, bit for bit copies.
Worse, I have nightmares that they would say that, and then slip in some easier algorithm, or I would find I had screechy recordings or skips long after I had paid their bill.
Looking forward to more ideas and suggestions.
