Re: Reel to Reel Archving

R2R to Cassette isn't a cost effective way of doing it.
Take a lesson from that Beatles CD that was floating around a couple years
ago and record it all to computer files. Then change the bitrate and put a
couple (or more) onto a single CD. Or DVD.
A lot less storage space and it'll be in digital format for when they dig
through the library 100 years from now.

I've been elected to backup from the non profit library our reel to
reel audios. There are several hundred mostly 5 inch reels. I don't
know the best method. I'd have to buy a reel to reel recorder/player.
Should I go reel to reel player/recorder to reel to reel player/
recorder to make the backup?

I thought it would be most efficient to run the reel to reel player/
recorder to a cassette recorder.
If I went reel to reel player/recorder to computer I'd end up with 2
disk or more for a one reel tape.
Appreciate any thoughts how best to tackle this duplication issue.
