I'd have to invest 1000's of hours. I will transfer a few of my favorites
so that I can put them on my new iPod.
Okay, try THIS on for size... Every time you play a vinyl LP, you
degrade it. Granted, not as MUCH as if it were a 78, but a finite
amount. Every time you play a CD you made from the LP, that is one less
play of the LP, and an avoidance of the inevitable degradation.

I'm still kicking myself for not getting the turntable I saw a few years
ago, it used a pair of lasers, one for tracking the groove and one for
reading the groove....
