Does anyone have the capability to transfer reel tape audio to digital media (mp3's, CD's, CD-R's)?
As of now, my broadcast employer has removed all their reel tape machines from the production rooms, which means I can no longer air reel tape music as-is on the "Homegrown Rocker." (This is not really a surprise, since commercials and programs don't get sent to radio stations via reel tape any more.) Since some of my archive local music footage is on reel tape, I'll need to have that footage transferred to CD or mp3 clips to be able to play them on the air. If anybody has this capability to transfer reel tape footage, please let me know.
I'd like to have at least some of it transferred before Memorial Day Weekend, when I do a special program spotlighting past area bands and artists.
The tapes I have vary in speeds recorded/played from 3 3/4 to 7 1/2 to 15 i.p.s. The sound quality on some of the tapes is rough (due to deterioration of the tapes over time), so any capability to beef up the sound quality during the transfer of the footage is an added plus!
Either respond here or shoot me a PM...thanks!

Dave Vallani at DATA Music Services can do that.

First, thanks to Bill, Gary and others who sent me a PM.
It looks like I'll be able to get this done in house through Forever's State College operation, which still has reel decks in place. Their engineer said I could have access to their production room to get things transferred.
If they would happen to pull the reel machines in the future, I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind.
