<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Jane – <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If a one-time need for a large collection, I’d consider outsourcing. We successfully outsourced an audio collection a few years ago with a local vendor. The collection was magnetic tape on both reel and cassette.
The vendor had experience, knew when ‘baking’ the tapes might be necessary to get data, understood normalizing sound for volume, understood the history of emulsions and of magnetic tape itself – in sum they understood the issues covered in the ‘signal –extraction’
document that Tressa alerts us to below (see linked to that document </span><a href="https://www.iasa-web.org/tc04/reproduction-analogue-magnetic-tapes">https://www.iasa-web.org/tc04/reproduction-analogue-magnetic-tapes</a><span style="color:#1F497D">).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In addition to providing uncompressed (wav) audio files, the vendor provided metadata in a spreadsheet, entering the title and any other information printed or written on the label, box or case. The vendor
we worked with was QCA in Cincinnati. </span><a href="http://go-qca.com/">http://go-qca.com/</a><span style="color:#1F497D"> I assume that they still do this type of work, but haven’t worked with them again since that project concluded.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There are audio components with a cassette deck and CD-recorder in one unit, but you can buy them separately. The benefit of that is that if the CD recorder or cassette desk dies you can buy the other and connect
them with the standard RCA jack or digital audio wire. I recommend Tascam or TEAC. Some require CDs formatted for audio use, so a generic disk may not be the best. Also, there may be temptation to buy a USB-connected cassette players. Those are horrible,
especially for music. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
