I thought twice about mentioning the word archival and mp3 in the same
sentence for fear of having my knuckles slapped. Convenience is the most
important thing here, especially considering the quality of the
originals. Even with minor post processing, the MP3s are going to sound
much much better than the originals. So being in an inherently lossy
format isn't going to matter that much.

just that word 'archival' has a real meaning.

Big Message here is that you need to play with these little systems to see
that, as you get good at driving them, if what you gain is worth what you
lose on any particular recording.
