Our Deepest Sympathy for Those Affected by the California Wildfires
The California wildfires have caused devastating loss for families and communities, including homes and irreplaceable personal memories. Capture extends its deepest sympathy to everyone affected and recognizes the emotional value of family photos and home videos during times of loss. Preserving these memories can help protect meaningful connections to people, places, and family history.
At Capture, our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the devastating wildfires currently ravaging California. The destruction and loss caused by these fires are unimaginable, and we want to take a moment to express our deepest sympathy and condolences to those affected.
We recognize that behind every headline is a person, a family, a community—each facing the unimaginable and grappling with loss and uncertainty. We stand with the people of California, offering our thoughts, strength, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
Our thoughts are especially with the first responders, firefighters, and emergency personnel who are putting their lives on the line to battle these fires and protect their fellow citizens. Their courage, dedication, and resilience in the face of such a dire situation are nothing short of heroic, and we owe them our gratitude.
To those who have lost their homes, businesses, and loved ones, please know that we are holding you in our hearts. We understand that the road ahead may feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. The resilience of the California spirit, the strength of its communities, and the generosity of individuals and organizations coming together will help to rebuild and restore what has been lost.
At Capture, we are committed to supporting those who have been affected. If you are from the Los Angeles area and recently digitized your memories, we understand that many are trying to figure out what is next and navigating unprecedented challenges. The last thing you need to worry about is your digitized media expiring in your MemoryCloud account. We have extended your MemoryCloud files to give you extra time to access and download your digitized memories.
If you have any questions, please reach out to support@capture.com and our Memory Experts would be happy to help.
In times like these, it’s essential that we come together to offer comfort and solidarity. If you are in a position to donate or volunteer, we encourage you to do so, as even the smallest gestures can make a significant impact.
To everyone in California, we send you our love and deepest condolences. Stay safe, stay strong, and know that the entire nation is behind you. We will get through this together.
With heartfelt sympathy,
The Capture Team

How to Transfer a CD to a USB Flash Drive: Music, Photos, and Files
To transfer a music CD to a USB flash drive, you have to rip it first: import the tracks as MP3 or AAC files with Windows Media Player or Apple Music, then copy those files to the drive. Dragging tracks straight from the disc only copies 44-byte ".cda" shortcuts that won't play, while photo and data CDs can be copied and pasted directly. A 16GB flash drive holds about 100 albums as 320 kbps MP3.
