Just to add one more thing to this: It is said that the one phrase most likely to herald the end civilization is: “It’s always been done that way.” :wink: >:) o:)

because, half my library is like this and I am buggered if I am ripping it all again. I have far too much to do with the new stuff. When I started doing this I didn’t know better like most who start from scratch. Guides are few and far between and all contradict each other because everyone has an o…
