There's a fair bit of noise in the original from the tape mechanism (I hope people don't think it is grandma clacking her dentures!) and someone yacking in the background. From the EDIROL files (WAV), I edited in Audacity-- I used chapter markers, and the audacity feature to create separate files from chapters. These were AIF files I plopped into iTunes (so I could make audio CDs for my family) and I imported the AIFFs into iMovie for the editing. @Oogie – for the audio I used a minijack out from the microcassette recorder into my Edirol R-09 a portable digital recorder.

I have a variety of old magnetic media with stories on them. And we won't even go into the oral history records the Historical Society has that are slowly disintegrating. My focus has been on scanning at archive resolution things like the glass plate negative collection from the early 1900's of our area and town and trying to preserve the old scrapbooks form the Women's clubs on each mesa.....

We just brought back two bins of old photos from Doug's brother's house that we hope to scan in and get information about. There's so much stuff in there, including old newspapers, receipts that are over 100 years old and even old ration coupons from WWII. I've lamented Doug's pack rat ways, but sometimes it pays off.
