Well said. KC is my favorite band so the potential for the end of the line is always a difficult path for me to imagine. I can only hope that smaller CD sets will still be released occasionally. I would love a 2018 or 2019 live set at some point, for one.
I'll probably go over to inner knot one final time and pluck a few of the KCCCs that I don't have yet for one final time.

Using Audacity to record something off your PC audio seems real simple to me:
* Make sure your PC sound is set at a high enough level and you've turned off all extraneous sound sources
* Bring up Audacity
* (for Windows) Make sure the audio host (leftmost pulldown) is set to Windows WASAPI
* Hit the Record button (big red dot)
* Start playing your audio source material
* When it finishes, hit the Stop button (big yellow square)
* Select "File ... Export Audio"
* Specify destination and type of file (for mp3, use Options to set the best quality)
Sometimes Audacity is shaky getting started on the recording. What I usually do is play the first 10 seconds of the source material, then rewind it and start it again from the beginning. Then before exporting to audio, I use the editor to remove the first 10 seconds of playback (everything from then on should be problem free).
One more thing: Be extra careful not to hit your Caps Lock or Num Lock key during recording. Those sounds can't be turned off.
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.
I was actually just having this debate with myself! I really don't have much interest in the Exposures box (way too much repetition of material I don't love) but the frippertronics stuff is what I do want. And the price point isn't awful...although still a bit high per disk of that stuff I actually want. But I'm definitely right in the middle of the fence for this one.
If there was an easy way then perhaps it would push me over the edge. Alas...

Your observation reminds me of when I was in college, sitting in someone's dorm room while they were making a cassette copy of the McCartney LP and hearing them complain about the inconvenience of having to just sit there and listen to the whole thing while taping it.
It makes one wonder: if you don't have the patience to listen to it all the way through, why do you want a copy of it so badly? (Or, as Sheryl Crow put it: If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?)

Ok.
This probably doesn't justify a response, but ill attempt...these are two different things. Listening to something and ripping it are two different things. I have plenty of stuff that I've ripped and listen to on a somewhat regular basis (at least as regular a basis as I listen to anything in my collection). Also, I guess I'm the only one that listens to music while doing something else.
I also have problems sitting for long periods of time due to a back injury. So even when I listen to stuff on my stereo/when it is my sole focus I always walk around.

Thanks to all who answered my question above! Can't seem to get multi-quote working.
Seems like Chicago will be the next one to get, while I ponder which of the more expansive collections to go for.
The CD just arrived, but I'm not sure if I would be popular blasting it through the house on a Sunday morning. Must be patient.
EDIT: Well, go figure. The multi-quote worked after all, but not when I was expecting it. Cordial thanks to all quoted above!
I used to own DVD Audio Extractor and used it for purposes like this pretty well. There was a bit of up-front effort to find the "right" audio on some DVDs (I preferred to rip the stereo tracks rather than the 5.1 mixes which sound a little weird when bounced to stereo), but once you've gotten that sorted out, it rips quickly (i.e. not real time ala a vinyl record or cassette) and the end quality is as good as you prefer it to be.
FWIW.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Good they were able to do all the really necessary boxed sets before the market for them disappears (or dwindles).
I would, however, second the call for a set of audio/video from the final line-up, in particular the 2018 tour which was my favourite in terms of line-up and repertoire.

I was also kind of hopeful for a soundscapes box that would collect recordings of that era like the Exposures box did for the frippertronics, although I knew that was a bit pipedreamish.

While it doesn't bridge the entire gap, the 8CD Music for Quiet Moments box fills a lot of that space.
Sent from my NE2217 using TapatalkEach of the 52 pieces was drawn from Soundscapes’ performances from 2004 to*2009 and venues/shows as varied as those for G3 (Satriani, Vai, Fripp), to Churchscapes (as the name suggests, concerts in churches), opening act for Porcupine Tree and even appearances at ‘The Big Chill’ festival.

Oh I do have that, and it is lovely. But yeah, I was hoping for something more expansive. But MFQM existence definitely contributes to that wish being more pipedreamy.
That said, I should bust that one out soon. Haven't spun those discs in a while.
