I think that whatever the long term plans, and assuming you have the technology, you should make a digital copy - preferably in WAV format rather than MP3. That way you keep you options open. I'm not sure what format the LoC would use. The odd things I've listened to have been in MP3 and therefore 'lossy' - once it's gone, it's gone. If space becomes an issue you can convert WAV to FLAC (that's another discussion) which is 'lossless' and takes up less space. Some more recent sound packages will play FLAC direct but you'd probably want to convert them back as required. That will give you time to consider. Have fun. Nick
