Well, maybe it’s not dead, but part of this makes me think they’re helping to kill it. Dead or alive, this is a really cool service for a library to offer.
We’ve got some awesome new equipment in the digital media lab this week to help you digitize and preserve your music collection. The new items are an ION USB Turntable and an ION USB cassette deck. These new pieces of equipment make it super easy to digitize those vintage Motown 45′s that you found at the thrift store or the Pixies tapes that have been collecting dust since your older brother moved away to college. Click through each of the links below to learn how you can digitize your record and tape collection in just a few easy steps.
