I've only been digitally recording ID's for about 3 1/2 years. My files are named with call and frequency only - any subsequent recorded ID's from the same station either overwrite the old one, or a suffixed with an a, b, or c. My recorded files from the taped days cover 1969-1981 from Northern NJ. I have 6 reel-to-reel tapes, recorded 2-track. These have been converted into 12 large mp3 files yet to be separated, but my intent is to name them the same way whenever I get to them. In both cases, my Excel Log keeps track of the date and time of the recording, but I must admit to having become somewhat careless about that the past few years with stations which are relogs but first recordings -- to the point that I can't go back and re-capture as many as 100 dates/times. One of the reasons for both that carelessness and also my failure to separate out the individual ID's from the old stuff has been re-vitalized by this discussion, namely what's the point of all of that given that my recorded ID's aren't really worth anything to anyone else except possibly for someone who wants to try to pass some off as their own somewhere down the road should they get hold of them. Paper veries are usually specific as to date, time, DX'er and location and thus aren't really subject to that degree of misuse, but I haven't regularly pursued those since the 1970's due to the expenditures of time and cash required, since after all those come into the category of "ephemera" as well.
