Also because a "marathon" format is more compatible with student lifestyle, and a bit alien to anyone working a job.

I was hoping someone would make this point. A lot of digital archiving is just delaying tossing things - a hard drive is easier to deal with than boxes of paper. The contents can still be useless.

When it comes to a search solution - what kind of searches have you done in the past? What kind of problems did you come across? If the answer to either is "none" you are planning on building a useless system.

> Not to mention, it probably takes a couple of years to get the certification for a device. So, any device to market is easily 2-3 years old tech by definition.

Approval can be quicker for hearing aids as there are already works-alike devices on the market. 510(k) clearance takes less than 6 months.

> Are essentially all albums perfectly in tune with A 440 hZ? For example with classical music, I understand that 442 is also used, baroque is sometimes at 415, and 432 has been common as well? I don't know about pop but I can't help but wonder if some artists have intentionally chosen something other than 440 over the decades.

No they are not all tuned to 440Hz. This is really evident if you play an instrument and want to play along with an album.
