Subject: [CODE4LIB] Preservation Practices: How do you handle Pro Tools files?

* This email originates from a sender outside of CUNY. Verify the sender before replying or clicking on links and attachments. *

Hello,

We have recently been working with a collection that contains .PTS / .PTX files from Pro Tools (Avid). We are considering various approaches to preserving them but would be grateful for input on practices/workflows from anyone else who already has experience working with these formats.

Many thanks,
