I'm also sorting through my parents things (the article is timely), here's a drive-by suggestion: pick up a Walkman on eBay.

My folks have a rack of VHS cassettes of their performances in plays, which they ripped to DVD at some point. I haven't started watching them but I'm lucky to have them.

Back them up. Homemade optical media perishes in a surprisingly short time. Drawers full of it.
