But my point is that I *do* have my own originals. It just  
doesn't make sense to go through the time and effort to make  
copies when I can get them from Spotify.

Should the day arrive when a certain recording would nolonger  
be available on Spotify.. no problem - *then* I could dig out  
my original and make a copy of that.

It just doesn't make sense to digitize a 1100 LP collection  
when the digitization of the mast majority of it is already  
done by someone else.

Makes sense to put VHS onto a newer medium anyway.  I have a  
DVR recorder that can faciliate the output of a VHS player so  
that I could record the content of the VHS onto the HDD and  
then burn the file to DVD. But some commercial VHS movie tapes  
output a scramble signal and can't be copied that way.
