03 Nov 2000 . Introduction A personal notes page for use with my audio tape to CD project. The high end SoundBlaster card I bought does a poor job digitizing analog input, in part due to the crummy mini-plug input jack. I explored MP3 compressed audio, but I learned that there's a vast difference between listening to MP3 files and creating them. Creating MP3s requires encoders, and the music industry would prefer end users not do encoders.
Litigation is omnipresent.
Nonetheless, my experiences may be of some use. Here they are. Some of these lecturers speak pretty quickly to being with, so even though the effect is small they do seem hurried. If I were to stick with audio CDs I'd repeat the process for all 72 or so lectures, creating perhaps 40CDs. That's a lot of CDs, and a lot of time spent trying to get the talks to fit.
