I've come to the realization that my equipment is terrible. I'm sure this is everyone's dilemma, but I can't hear my 4-channel LPs and really enjoy them without good equipment and a lot of time fiddling around with adjustments and whatnot.
So my question is this: is there any way for me to legally obtain a digital copy of 4-channel copyrighted material without buying all the equipment and doing the conversion myself?
And secondly, does the answer depend on whether or not I have a legal liscense to the albums I want to hear? For instance, if I have a Pink Floyd LP is it legal for someone else to provide me with a digital copy of it, does that fall under fair use? What if instead of the actual LP, I have the media and liscense to use it in another format such as reel-to-reel, casette, or CD?
Anyway, I really want to listen to my favorite music in clear 4-channel sound. Is there any way to get around the initial high cost?
