Re: Computer recommendation for digitizing older recordings.

got the picture, see above. I know the specs, or rather the names of
digital
audio formats, but except for a few imperative CDs I never actually listen
to digital music.

so I only know pcm from my stereo tube when I play a dvd and mp3 only from
people I know. I have never played mp3 at home.

doing a test would be easy, but why bother if you already know what it
will
sound like? it's not gonna be anything else than golf-ball speaker sounds
coming from a 15 inch woofer speaker system, which is what you need to
play
back analogue audio. not the tape cassettes, the records!
