Don’t let your collection say “See Ya Later” for good...
Still got tapes lying around? Here’s the hard truth, your magnetic media might already be on its last legs...
Magnetic tape’s been around since the ’40s for audio and the ’50s for video. Used everywhere from recording studios to living rooms. But it wasn’t built to last forever. As it ages, it breaks down, and once that happens, there’s no getting that content back.
Don’t just take my word for it. I’ve attached a link from the National Film and Sound Archive Australia backing this up. 2025 is the tipping point. After that, digitising could be too late.
So ask yourself, do you really want to be the one explaining why the archive couldn’t be saved?
