Man, that's another area where this board improved my world (film audio technology) - and not just my Star Wars world.
When I was a kid, I used to make audio cassettes of films so I could listen to them. It was easy. My laserdisc player was hooked into my amplifier just as my Teac cassette deck was. Put on the laserdisc, put in the Maxell tape - 60 min UDXL II (nothing but the best back then
) and push play & rec.I would listen to films on long motorcycle trips(Walkman) or in my car on long commutes. After I made the switch to digital media, all that old technology was eventually lost. Decades passed before I was able to do that same thing with modern technology and it was members of this board that helped me with that - by putting me on to DVD Audio Extractor. Now I once again have a large library of film audio for long trips - and in multiple formats (CD, MP3, WAV) depending on where I'll be listening to them.
So, even though my Star Wars world is in its final state, my ability to listen to it probably isn't. And it will most likely be members of this board that know about the latest technological developments before I do. I'll be sticking around.
