Archiving tapes

[Peter Hicks]

Hello

I have a bunch of old BBC B/Acorn Electron and Spectrum cassettes laying 
around here doing nothing.  They're at least 12 years old, and I want to 
try to preserve them before they deteriorate.

My initial thought was to sample them and convert in to MP3 format, 
burning to CD.  However, MP3 is lossy compression.  I also wondered how 
I'd restore them to a machine to test them, but came up with no answer.

Any ideas?


Peter.
