I have been using Cakewalk to get some of my long out of print albums and singles to CD and have been pretty happy with the results. I was thinking of doing this as a "service" and had a few questions. I apologize if this isn't the correct forum for this.
Would there be any legal stuff I would need to know about concerning copyrights? My intention is to merely transfer the record to cd and give it back to the customer. I would keep the albums saved on my hard drive for a short peroid of time just in case the customer needed a backup. I would not be using these for my myself. I think this would qualify as fair use since I am transferring one medium to another for the customer. I would think a lot of people might not even have their turntables any more that would like this service.
I am trying figure out what a fair price is. I don't know what people would pay for this. I thought maybe $10 for a full album and $5 for each single. Maybe 3 singles for ten.
I would set expectations that the CD will only sound as good as the vinyl. Meaning that only so much can be done if the album is damaged or skips, etc.
Does this sound like more trouble than it's worth or is it a good way to make some extra money?
Thanks for any suggestions.
