I've just had some reels of 8mm home cine film digitised, over 50 years old, and so good to see again after many years. The team at Supaphoto were most helpful, friendly and efficient in both the work and in their keeping in touch with me regarding the process. From my experience I highly recommend

I wanted to share my wonderful experience with this company. I had a tricky order of digitalising over a decades worth of photos on SD cards, CDs, loose photos and USB. This company have excelled in converting everything to one USB stick. Customer service has been outstanding and kept me upto date every step of the way. From initial enquiry to finish. I want to say Thank you highly recommended and would 100% use them again.

Was very happy to receive my sentimental VHS tapes digitised, and written to DVD format. It was very helpful to be able to discuss my requirement, and to be informed of suitable alternatives, that I was not aware of.

I was very pleased to have found Supaphoto to do some digitising of old slides. I used the bulk slide scanning service to digitise about 600 slides from the 1970s - 1980s, and was delighted with the results. Now those memories are preserved and kept in an easily accessible form. The client communication was excellent and very friendly, with regular updates as the project proceeded leading to high confidence. Would definitely use them again if needed.

Supaphoto have recently digitised my late parents 35 mm slides. The process has been so straighforward and easy to navigate. All the staff I have talked to have been friendly and helpful, talking me through the process and alleviating my fears around sending the slides to them. The results are amazing, these slides date back to the early 1960's and have not been viewed in at least 20 years - my sister and I now have many hours in front of us trying to work out where they were taken and who is in them! What a treat after all this time.

Sussex University's Massive Collection of Bob Copper's Priceless English Folk Music

We were so proud to have been chosen by the University of Sussex to digitalise and convert their priceless collection of beautiful audio reel to reel magnetic recordings from Bob Copper. We’ve also scanned hundreds of images from Sir Richard Attenborough’s photo collection which he left to Sussex University. 

Bob Copper, who has died aged 89, was a leading member of the famous singing Copper family of Rottingdean, East Sussex, and an important collector of English folksongs. His earliest musical memories were of sitting around the fire singing with his father, Jim, and his grandfather James Copper, who was born in 1845.

Convert Mini Disc to Digital Audio

Minidisc is a digital audio recording format developed by Sony in the early 1990s. The format features a minidisc recording disk (imagine a tiny Compact Disk). This is permanently housed in a square cartridge similar to a computer floppy disk.
The minidisk allowed for the digital recording, compression, and re-recording of audio information. It found wide scale popularity in Japan during the early to mid 1990s. 

Minidisc players allowed for basic recording and editing of audio information on portable devices. Minidiscs came in both recordable and pre-recorded formats which meant that they served as both a method of consuming audio and producing original audio recordings. The format was later discontinued by Sony in 2013.  View our full range of disc services which includes DVDs, Mini DVDs, CDs and even disc repair services.  

The Importance of Minidisc Transfer

Like many old recording technologies, minidisc formats become increasingly unstable and liable to decay as they age. This is particularly true for the minidisc due to its method of recording. This makes it susceptible to magnetic decay where contact with magnetic elements will severely damage or entirely erase the original recording. A great reason to not wait a second longer to convert mini disc to digital audio. 

The fact that minidisc players have been discontinued since 2013 means that finding working technology to use minidiscs is becoming ever more difficult. Add to this the fact that many older machines are also likely to have become damaged. These are likely to damage any disks played on them.

Safeguarding your Minidisc Recordings

The factors explained above mean that the digital convert mini disc to digital audio recordings made onto minidiscs is necessary to ensure the safety and playability of these recordings. At its high point, the format of player was considered to be a market contender to CD players, but unfortunately, minidiscs never became as popular.

Our MiniDisc to Mp3 Service

At Supaphoto our capable technicians are able to transfer your old minidisc recordings into digital format to ensure their continued safety. Our minidisc to mp3 conversion service comes highly recommended.

Through our specialist digital recording software we can retrieve the audio information stored on your minidiscs. We then transfer it into a digital format compatible with modern audio devices. Mini disc to digital as a service won’t take long and you’ll be happy with the outcome for sure!

Then It’s as simple as connecting these devices to your PC or Mac via the USB port and copying the files. Once you have them on your local computer, you can store and enjoy them at your pleasure.

Our team understands that audio content should be lost just because a piece of technology becomes obsolete.
