I'm actually collecting old vinyl against the day I can buy a laser record scanner and turn the music on them into mp3s and make them available under a non-profit organization.
At the moment, it's mostly stuff from the early half of the 1900's.
That's good. I've got this 10 volume set of music books titled 'The World's Best Music' dated 1908. Someday I hope to find _inexpensive_ scanning software so I can change the sheet music to MIDI format and post them on a website.
Grr...I hate when it posts before I finish typing....
I have a lot of classical music that Marc Glasser and I found abandoned on a street in Greenwich Village one evening. We couldn't believe our stroke of luck, and shoved records into every thing we had with us capcable of holding them. We had to take a taxi to get them all to our homes, but it was well worth it. We figure that between us, we got a couple of hundred dollars worth of good music for the cost af the cab ride (about $20, split between us). Also, if you are looking, I have a lot of stuff from the late 60's through about the mid 80's.
When you have the technology, I would be willing to arrange loans of vinyl for copying.
