I don't have as many as that...but I do have some VHS tapes and cassette recordings of night migrations from the early 2000's that I am planning to convert to WAV using Raven Pro's recorder. Probably anything you digitize, I would think, would be no worse than the quality that is currently on the tapes.

Can anyone recommend a possible archiving system that converts to WAV (or at least other than MP3) that would retain the integrity of the recording? I thought there might be folks that have had a similar situation. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
