Farewell analogue sound

[ffutures]

OK, so I've already replaced most of the laserdiscs I can no longer play with DVDs, and have given most of them to the Trinity Hospice charity shop in Kensington Church Street which already had some - I've kept 2001 and a couple of others which I'm thinking of framing, also the Queen one in case someone can do a LD->DVD transfer. All I need to do now is sell the old player - it's got several watchers but no bids with four days to go, I'm hoping that someone will start the ball rolling soon. It's a shame, but given how old the technology is now I suppose it's inevitable that it gets more and more difficult to keep everything working. At least this way the majority of my disks are playable, with the old player, in the last year or so, it was a coin toss if things would work for any disk, not just the analogue ones.

We need to go through our laserdisc collection again and see which ones we can replace with DVD and Blu-Ray (since some of those movies have taken awhile to get released on the newer formats). We have a few, though, that I doubt we'll ever be able to replace. We've been working on getting them converted to digital so we can just burn them onto DVD or play them on our computers.

I don't have anything horribly obscure on laserdisc - I could probably replace most of them in a day or two of shopping on ebay etc., so I'm content to keep them until that actually becomes necessary.
