Here's what some of our customers have to say!

Read the story of how one woman's transferred wire recordings revealed an important voice and a mystery .

Every wire we receive for transfer is first evaluated. It is then digitally transferred into our computer where track IDs are placed and volume adjustments are made. After processing, the audio is recorded to a compact disc. Turn around is usually 1 to 2 weeks.* There is more info on our wire FAQs page.

If your wire looks like these two on the left, expect an additional untangling charge. Though we do accept tangled wires for transfers, there is an additional untangling charge. And no guarantee. Check our FAQ page for more information. If your wire looks like the one on the right. It is a lost cause.
