A few concerns as there is with everything new or that we dont yet fully understand. But it sounds more good, than bad? Best wishes roly :-)I am sure at one time we had this, it was called fair usage, as in if you had an old LP you could transfer to tape for use in the car, or elsewhere, so likewise the new way today would be to copy LP to MP3 and as it's for your own use, its legal. So perhaps we are getting back what we had before which was taken away from us with draconian laws that as people said at the time were badly drafted / thought out. Paul
