Need Tumblr's Help Regarding Archiving Some Media

So there was this independent singer in Canada in the early 1990s who was pretty incredible and she got popular for a short blip. Well I wanted to listen to it 30 years later and the entirety of the artist's presence on the internet is this one link. http://www.musicxray.com/xrays/410313 Which is super sad. So I started trying to find the album and found that there have been TWO copies available in the world in at least the last ten years. One was a ridiculous delisted Amazon listing and then another one on some sort of tiny website that no one could verify 100% for me was legit still though it had been at one point. But I was so determined that I took the risk and it actually paid off!

Now then I live in a country where if I own the thing I can make myself a digital backup of the thing. I found my USB CD drive but I have no idea what program would be good to use anymore! If you have a recommendation for what software I should be using to make myself my allowed digital backup please let me know! Or if you know of any groups that has experience making digital back-ups of rare music I can talk to in order to ensure I have the best backup I can please let me know!

Trapped (1949) is a film noir made by one of the greatest noir directors - Richard Fleischer (the son of Max) - and starring Lloyd Bridges and troubled Barbara Payton.

A car chase in the film noir Trapped (1949) speeds northbound, uphill along Ivar Avenue, and then turns west at the top corner where the Alto Nido Apartments still sits to this day. 

The Alto Nido is famously featured in a crane shot in Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd (1950). The shot of Ivar Avenue fluidly transitions through the blowing curtains of a window where we see William Holden working at his typewriter.

As the car chase in Trapped (1949) turns west at the top of the steep hill, a vantage point with several old apartment buildings emerge, all of which still stand and look the same today.

However, there is no longer a road like this beside the Alto Nido to turn west onto. 

Where the old road once was, there is now a bench, a lookout spot, and a steep sidewalk that takes only pedestrians down to a now-flat Franklin Avenue. 

When this film was made Franklin Avenue was a steep hill that led to the Riviera Apts.

The Hollywood Freeway eclipsed the steep version of Franklin Avenue in 1953, taking the Riviera Apts and its old school sign with it. 

The street now has a very busy freeway overpass crossing above it.

The vantage point from the Riviera Apts as seen in Trapped (1949) is interesting.

The shot is facing east, uphill, and at the top right corner you can see an old house that looks like a castle. The castle-house remains today, but it is pressed very tightly against the Hollywood Freeway offramp.

The Riviera Apts sign is long gone, but it has a vintage relative that survives at the Kingsley House apartment building on West 9th.
