Damn, should have went over to my parents' house. They have a record player, a reel to reel machine, and an 8-track player- Everything but the phonograph!It's a shame. I lived through much of that and know how it all works. I could write that essay in my sleep. :)

Its not hard, it is just time consuming. I also had to filter stuff out which also took a while. In the end both analogue and digital recordings have there pros and cons. For the most part it was interesting and I enjoyed it very much, well the research part anyway. I've got to write a 10,000 word essay soon.
