[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1689229"] Let me say first that just because something is very old doesn't mean it ISN'T on iTunes -- I've found a significant number of recordings from 1920s on there. If the particular thing you're looking for doesn't exist, well of course that's a different story -- but it is worth a try. 33 ⅓ RPM records can be converted to CD pretty easily, and the most foolproof method is to buy a unit that does this, such as this: [url]http://www.oaktreevintage.com/crosley_turntables/crosley_CR248_songwriter_turntable.htm[/url] Not sure if it can handle 78rpm's, you'll have to inquire about that. The benefit of the Crosley is no computer is required. As for cassettes, I've used an iMic attached to a regular cassette deck to do that sort of conversion: [url]https://griffintechnology.com/us/products/audio/imic[/url] (it's its own preamp, and also works great with conventional turntables for the same purpose) [/QUOTE]
