I'm definitely in. It took me a couple of months to rip my CD collection to iTunes, but every now and then I'd hit something I hadn't listened to in a while, which was awesome.
I just moved a bunch of vinyl from one shelf to another, which reminded me that I have a ton of stuff there that's unavailable on any of the mp3 stores. Might have to befriend someone with a USB turntable.
Back when I was ripping bunches of stuff for iTunes, I liked to have three computers ripping at the same time.
Also, I originally ripped my stuff at 128 kbps, so around the fall of '03 I re-ripped everything at a higher variable bitrate.
I suggested once before that we buy a communal Buffista one. I totally wasn't joking.

I need this friend too!
Count me in. I have so much vinyl, and our turntable doesn't even have a needle anymore.

I would be so up for that. Although shipping it around might be a bitch.
it might be, but I bet a fair amount of exchange would happen without needing shipping. I could get it to B'more in person, or down to TX (where at least shipment to Austin would be shorter and cheaper). It could make exchanges at the F2F for sure.
How much does a good one run?
I have no idea. I could bring it to the Philly folks!
Looks like $100 - $200 on Amazon.
No, that part I can handle; it's getting it from there to somewhere else. I can burn a disk easy enough, but I've never done any file-sharing type activities.
Frank, if it's just a single song that you're talking about, surely the easiest thing would be just to send it as an email attachment, right? Either to whoever requested it, or to buffistarawk or buffistarawk2 (both gmail addresses).
