Here's What We Can Service
Currently we can digitize 3 widely known distinct formats of the ages, colloquially known as records, cassettes, and CDs. More (obscure) will be added in the future.

ANALOG Digitizing: We have a multi-media player that supports vinyl records & audio cassettes, the latter we can do on-the-go via our portable cassette player hooked up to a laptop.
Records and cassettes are played in real time through our audio capturing software.
