This is of interest to me as i aspire to do audio work
one day. I intend to set up a studio where i can transfer
and archive music from older formats to c.d. and I am
interested in knowing if there is any type of c.d. or
format which has been proven to have a longer shelf life.

I hope to be able to transfer 78's, LP's, reel to reel and
casettes to c.d. and I have discussed this with others who
conduct similar business. Thank you for the reminder that
only one copy should be made, and that should be in the
posession of the one who purchased the original recording.

I have extensive collections of Vinyl, 78's and cassettes
with which to work, and hope to offer this service to
others when i perfect the system and the process.

Any suggestions?
