[78-L] The audio casette is making a comback

[bradc944 at comcast.net]

ROXIO? ew.

If you're only burning CDs for the subscription service, there's freeware that will do this. But, since you have ROX-I-bloat-O, simply think of the process as this:

1. Insert USB drive into USB port on computer.
2. Copy file(s) to an 'incoming' or 'master this' folder.
3. Run RAWX-E-I-E-I-O... choose "Burn Audio CD" option.
4. Have BOLLOX-YO-HO use the files from your 'incoming' or 'master this' folder. It will be faster.
5. Uncork the Merlot or Chardonnay or whatever. Drink said whatever whilst burning the many copies of the audio CD.

Now... for a REAL blast, be ready for people that want to have the lecture series put on to a CD-R in MP3 format. Do not panic. Sip more whatever and smile, for within POX-upon-the-WOE there will be an option to burn a data CD. What that does is take the data file and stores it on the CD... as a data file.

For as bloated and overpriced as it is, ROLLOCKING-eenie-meenie-miney-MOE can do a decent job of thing like this.

Can you tell my opinion of that certain software?

Oh no! Not now. I'm struggling to learn how to use a flash drive, that tiny 
little bitsy 4 GB thing that you insert into the USB slot of your computer
and which, they tell me, can hold my entire stash and probably the Library 
of Congress Audio archive.
I work for a lecture series as audio consulant and for the last few years 
they've been providing me with audio cassette masters of each lecture to
use for transfer to CD's on my Sonys which are then distributed to the 
subscription audience the following week. Last week, however, the University 
Audio Chief handed me this tiny Flash Drive component and said..We're 
shifting from cassettes to this. Have a nice weekend.
Holy crap. My computer is five years old. Now what?
I called in the troops. With the help of a friend who is a computer genius 
we installed "ROXIO", a program that allows me to transfer the Flash Drive 
material to CD's or DVD's. I hate it and I hate the concept BUT science 
marches on.
If  the cassette is indeed making a comeback I wish it would come back to 
our lecture series because, looking into the future, we'll be dicussing that 
Ray Noble HMV on track 1,5467,000 of our Flash Drives. We'll carry the 
entire contents of all 78 r.p.m. recordings in one pants pocket.
Tempis foooojit.
