I saw this on the BBC website this morning as well. It struck me that between them, the membership of this forum very likely have every single type of format reader / player the library could possibly need, but I assume they have their own versions already of course.

I was already aware that the library gets a copy of just about every printed work ever published in the UK (where does it keep them all?) but didn't know this also extended to media recordings. I wonder if it also extends to other things such as eighties era computer software cassettes, and so on.
