Re: Loopers-Delight-d Digest V02 #829
That was Steve Albini's take on archiving at the same conference - his
opinion is that magnetic tape and vinyl records are the only valid
archiving methods, since any digital storage medium will be obsolete and
unreadable within a few years, but that if necessary you can make a
pickup that will read a magnetic tape or vinyl records very easily.
However, if you're working in a digital medium and you wish to archive
your data, I think it makes sense to keep a digital copy. A production
CD would probably be a much better archival copy than a CD-R.
