Evolution of My Recorded Music

I never did get involved with the 8-track music because of the poor quality, and maybe it was a little before my time. :) My music collection started with 33 rpm and 78 rpm LP records, and over several years my music library became a nice collection of my favorite music. I also kept updating my equipment so I could get the best quality that was possible. It finally dawned on me that the newest and greatest music storage device was the cassette tape, which was probably several years after the cassette really became popular -- I normally am a little slow where new technology is concerned.

Now the evolution process begins with the transfer of my music from records to cassette tapes which takes a lot of money to update to the proper equipment and bunches of time to transfer the music.

I am now set for years of music enjoyment listening to all my favorite songs on the most modern of music storage devices. Then one day I happened to catch part of a conversation about "Music on a CD" which was Greek to me. After a couple of years I realized that the "CD" was really the way to go -- I told you earlier that I was slow.

Since there wasn't a way to transfer my cassette music to CD I just started purchasing music on CD, and after spending a lot of money on new equipment I am back in the music business again.

I just discovered that there was equipment available to transfer cassette music to my computer and then burn the music to a CD. After spending some money on this equipment I am now in the process of making CDs with all of my old cassette music on them. I also had been introduced to the MP3 player recently so I am putting some of this music on one of those also.

I will now have my music (or some of it) on cassette, CD , MP3 player, 3 different computers, USB storage devices and smart phone. I hope there is not anymore music storage devices on the market that I have not heard about or that may be in the development stages -- because I just don't have the room to store anymore music storage devices.
