To start with, no less than exactly 50 tapes were converted and uploaded. That number was not intentional, but it turned out that way. The list of these tapes is below:

2. There are three levels of sound quality

1. "Excellent": no scratches, no background noise, just excellent.
2. "Very good": almost as good as the "Excellent" ones, with a few audible scratches.
3. "Good": still quite audible, but with segments that contain varying amounts of scratches and/or background noises.
4. Not listed is a fifth category, i.e. the tapes that are in such bad shape that they are unusable. As such, they are considered "missing" and added to the Missing Tapes page in the hope that other copies will be found and funneled our way.

3. Grouping by numbers

As more and more tapes are added to the Audio Files page, finding the one you're looking for will increasingly require a lot of scrolling up or down. To help with this process, the page is now interspersed every 100 tapes with a string of links that allows jumping around more easily. So for example if you are looking for a tape in the 300 range, all you need to do is click on the "Tapes 300-399" to be brought immediately to Tape 300.
