That's Mojo alright.  Closed out nearly every show with a slight

The past year i have been saturating myself in old wizard tapes from

my city, as they have become the most popular counter-culture weekly

Nice point Tristan. I agree with you that \emph{today} some of these 
numbers sound obscene, but they will not in, say, 5 years time.
And if I am embarking in the mission to digitalise a lot of music, I 
want to do it right from the first time.

I hear ya! I still need to recover around 6-700 records from the states. I 
haven't had them in almost three years and am really starting to miss them! But 
it's become painfully clear that I won't be reuniting with all of them any time 
soon. It's just way too expensive to ship that much vinyl across an ocean. If 
only I could pay someone to digitise them all and send me the hard disks. 
Err... what I really need is a digitiser/shipper/eBay broker. Once I get the 
hard disks I'll decide what I *really* need to keep. You ship me that half and 
the other half is your for keeps or eBay. Less than 50 are crap because I 
already thinned it down to essentials. Any volunteers in Iowa City? ;) Kent, 
you should have some free time when your youngest moves out. :)

Nice point Tristan. I agree with you that \emph{today} some of these 
numbers sound obscene, but they will not in, say, 5 years time.
And if I am embarking in the mission to digitalise a lot of music, I 
want to do it right from the first time.

Personaly, I will never dispose the vinyl I like the most. But I want to
digitalise because 1) I am living abroad now and will for some time,
maybe changing location a couple of times. It is hard to carry around a
lot of records, but much easier to carry, say, 40 DVD-Rs or 2x200GB HD
(2x to get it mirrored, 200GB in 24/96 gives 100 hours of music, which 
then can be easily compressed...)
2) I often buy records which I end up not enjoying, or maybe buy without 
listening at all (through internet, etc). Digitalising is a way of 
keeping the music and allows me to sell these records.

In the long term terabyte storage wont be that expensive and we will be
able to afford with or DIY terabyte NAS or disk-servers.
If you are really mental and rich, one of those nice robotic tape 
jukeboxes would do the job even today.
Since network connection is getting faster and cheaper, you could get a
central server, with all your collection digitalised, and allow your
friends to access it, giving them the choice of final bitrate 
(compressed from the originals in your server), but this is another
history...

Anyway, a shuffle feature through a whole collection sounds great.

Yeah, I should correct my post from yesterday. A 7:00 track was 307MB at 32 bit 
(float)/96KHz, but that's still 200MB at 24 bit/96KHz for a 6 minute track, 
which is obscene. I've only encoded a fraction of my collection over the last 
six months, and that's 1129 tracks (110 hours). That takes up 10.8 GB in 
256kbps mp3 as opposed to 223 GB at 24 bit 96 KHz. I'd definitely be looking at 
terrabytes of storage if I didn't chose a compressed format.

I have yet to 'go digital' and don't think I will until I've at least finished 
with the CDs. As a DJ the main benefit to me will be to have a huge range of 
stuff a click away, and without that mass it just seems pointless not to use 
vinyl. It's a totally different approach than carefully picking 50 records to 
fill the bag, and means recalibrating loads of tendencies and habits. Also, I'm 
sure I'll just start messing around once I get the tools and won't ever get 
around to encoding the rest of my stuff. However, I'm starting to get quite 
excited about that day's arrival. I think it'll be loads of fun once I get 
there. 

@Kamal: Will you pay for palletising and shipping? I know a good freighter or 
two. ;)
