tapes Shar I used to make tapes all the time. Ultimate Mix Tapes. Yeah. But then the boyfriend said that it was very junior-highish, me making tapes. I haven't made one since. It makes me sad. I should make another soon. 000325 ... birdmad i like to make tapes...i rigged the audio outputs on my vcr through the system so that i can put my favourite sound bites from films between the songs... 000518 ... MollyGoLightly The mixed tape is a very intricate, delicate process...I tried to make one last spring and it was nothing but a headache..i don't think i'm cut out to make tapes for other people 000518 ... The Schleiffen Man being an audiophile, i use to make tapes for others but now i make cd's! viva la revolutione! 000518 ... Brad If you were a real audiophile you would make vinyl, and if you had any respect for the artists you wouldnt pirate their music 000518 ... MollyGoLightly You're such a little killjoy sometimes, Brad ;) 000518 ... Brad mwa ha ha! 000518 ... birdmad the thorny issue of taping... on the other hand, is the artist not better served if somebody's clandestine tape creates a new fan who decides they must buy everything by the artist they have just "discovered"??? that's how my audio collection grew... the right tape can be what keeps you going on a long drive or a long shift at work if you put the right songs together... ...and maybe it's a bit juvenile, but when you are tongue-tied and shy and fumble for the right words the right tape can be a love letter or a tool of seduction (it's true, ...it's true) 000518 what's it to you? who go blather from
