Our Transfer Process
All audio transfers are done in-house; your order will never leave our Albany, CA office. Included in the price of the audio transfer is one output type of your choice, either playable CD (CD player) or a digital computer file of your choice. MP3 & WAV are the most common digital audio file types requested, but we can also output to other digital audio formats like AIFF & FLAC. For a comparison between the various digital audio formats click here. If you decide you would like to receive two different outputs, then you will be charged an additional $5 per piece of media.
By default, all audio cassette tapes & 1/4" reel to reel tapes will have each side exported as one track. Track separation is possible for music recordings with clear audio gaps between the songs, and for spoken word recordings, we can place track markers every 5 minutes if you like. We can also merge side A & B of a recording for one continuous track.

“They were able to provide a truly amazing slide show for a life celebration that my whole family was thoroughly impressed by. Everyone was asking for their info as we all have memories that we need to have archived to pass on to our next generations. I couldn't recommend them any higher!”
— Andre B. Dublin, CA
“Sean and Andrea were great to work with. They took my old VHS cassette tapes, digitized them, and uploaded the mp4 video files to a secure server. Communication was excellent, price was fair and I'll certainly be back again. Thanks!”
— Robyn H. Oakland, CA
“They transferred 8mm film and a few old prints to digital video format and jpeg format. Unlike many similar online services, this business does all transfer work in house. So there's less risk of your precious family analog memories getting lost in transit.”
— Timothy M. North Berkeley, CA
