A friend of mine who is not very computer savvy has asked me if I would be interested in digitizing his collection of aprox 3000 CD's.
He wants everything setup to import cleanly into ITunes. He also wants the cover art to be available. Since most of the CD's are obscure jazz and classical albums I'm thinking I'm going to have to scan the covers rather than try to download the art.
I have already told him the project will take me at least three months to get done. I have also told him that he will have a lot of work to do himself once he gets the data to classify all the music.
If I was interested in the music I may have done it for free just so I could make my own copies of everything.
I'm not trying to make a big profit from the guy. I just want to cover myself in case the project somehow turns into a giant p.i.t.a. What would you charge?
