At present I convert audio cassette tapes to digital files.

I provide a MP3 file (with H.264 compression). This means your converted audio files are easy to edit, save, share, and listen to.

I can copy them onto a USB Flash Drive, External Hardrive, CD, DVD, and send them over the Internet (an email address is required). I can provide a USB Drive at a charge of $10, or you can provide your own.

If a cassette is blank there will no charge.

If I discover that a tape is a commercial recording (major motion picture, TV show, professional sports broadcast) I won’t convert the tape and there’s no charge. I don’t want to violate the publisher’s copyright by converting a commercial recording, but if it’s important to you a high quality version can probably be purchased online.

Under New Zealand copyright law I am unable to convert programmes/shows or items recorded off TV, movies, or any other items marked with copyright, unless you or your organisation owns the copyright. Please ensure that you own the copyright of any media you provide me with, or that you have obtained the required permission from the copyright holder. I may ask to see written permission from the copyright holder.

I deliver your converted audio files in the MP3 digital video format. This makes it easy to share your audio files offline and online, to family and friends around the globe.

Because I deliver digital audio files, you can edit your audio files with most audio software apps on Mac or Windows computers.

Depending on how many tapes there are, my standard tunaround time is 1-2 weeks. This is due to my running Digital Life outside of my full time employment at this present time.
