but I don't miss tapes at all, they sounded like shit and what a pain in the arse having to wind them through and carry about 20 in my back pack because I never knew what I'd want to listen to on my walkman

and I probably had about a hundred blank tapes all over the place with half baked ideas for songs that I never listened back too

nah, let em die! ;-)

And let’s not forget the brief moment in history with the advent of consumer CD burners between the times of cassettes and mp3 players. I still have a mountain of CDs with a single burn of an unfinished track, and there was no rewrite either. Seemed ultra cool at the time but highly impractical.

And as an example of “let it go already, man” my roommate exclusively buys music off the net for DJ mixes now but still burns them 1 song per CD out of nostalgia for the vinyl days. :lol: The military could wipe out a medium size village just by airdropping his collective CD binders.

It would help if you would state where you are ...

Good service, cheap prices (actually cheaper than cdrs) - there's a catch though production wise: Tapes are usually recorded both sides in one "take". Due to the lenght of the tape being not so exact, you can end up with silence on the end of the a and start of the b side.

Just google tape duplication and find a service near you.
