Consider this. One hour of your time is worth about $15.00 at the highest minimum wage being talked about these days. If you digitize a stereo one hour recording at 192/24 bits per second (at a data rate of 9.2 mbps this recording will take up 4.1 GB of disk storage. Last time I bought some hard drives, 3 TB cost me $90.00. At this price point, that 4.1 GB of storage cost $0.12.
Of course, you could save most of that $0.12 by using MP3 encoding.
MP3 should not be used for music. It has no value. It is technologically obsolete.
