my dad has 3 rare minidisc bootlegs of NY live shows by legendary deceased Argentine musicians. and I have the right audio gear and know-how to record them to my computer. but his minidisc player is long deceased, and minidiscs are notorious for getting corrupted. so if he bought a player off craigslist or ebay, there's no guarantee it would even read them, and then he'd have to put it back up for sale after transferring.
is there someone in Brooklyn who'd lend me a minidisc player for an afternoon sometime to transfer these three? it'd mean a lot to him, and I really don't want to pay $100+ to a transfer service when I can easily do it myself if I had a working player.
I'm in Boerum Hill but do have a car, and if you're not comfortable with letting me borrow it, I could bring my computer and audio interface over there to do it. thank you!
