This is why I need a Real Desktop Computer, with a CD/DVD burner drive. I have an on-going project of transferring content from those spinning vinyl disks to digital formats so that I can play them on the radio program that I host biweekly at the local radio station, KBOO-FM Portland. I haven’t counted them lately, but there are about 35 linear feet of LPs stacked tightly in four bookcases.
