Whoa much work...
Very much effort, especially the audio tapes.
It is very good that you did backups on them.
If your Toshiba DVD was so good, maybe you should invest in another DVD from Toshiba.
Maybe you should back it up on more than just some DVD because DVD can get scratch, break etc. You might want backup to a HDD too, or 2-3 sets of DVD. Then store one set of DVD in dark place with no heat, no cold, no sunlight. And other DVD set send to another house so if burglar or fire burn house down you dont loose your music. ![:D]()
Or you can back up on Internet, upload to private archive.

I probably wouldn't have any luck finding a new one that didn't cache audio, which is evil when attempting to rip audio securely, well at least EAC can disable the caching but I'd still prefer drives without audio caching.

I know all about creating more than one backup, when it comes to my audio collection you're talking to Mr. Paranoid. I have all files backed up on CD-R, and duplicates backed up on DVD+R, whatsmore I don't even touch those discs so as to not introduce dust, fingerprints, scratches, etc. For now I still listen to the original audio CD's and some of which are over twenty years old but still look brand new because I take care of them and store them properly.
At some point if money permits me to do so I want all those encoded audio files to permanently live on a Windows driven music system operated via a laptop using probably external hard disks, and of course a remote control, with the sound coming out of some good Altec Lansing speakers or Bose Speakers (or whatever I can afford). Until then I can only dream about it -- but that's my goal.
