Why he thought I'd want a copy of Pat Benetar's Greatest Hits is beyond me.

Cuz she's hot and she can sing her a$$ off?

Eh, she's hot, I'll give you that. Even today and she's like 70. But the music doesn't do much for me. Coupla cool tracks, but I'm not a fan.

He was making me some copies of Paul Gilbert's solo stuff and threw in Pat Benetar and a Nightwish cdr as well. "Thought you might dig these too". He would be wrong.

True, true. I just saw her "remastered" episode of "Behind the Music" and she's still lookin' quite MILFy.

What do you guys use for transferring cassettes to the computer? I used to do this awhile back but didn't like the sound capture program I was using.

I use Audacity myself. It took time figuring out how to get them in good quality, but it works well enough.

Steinberg WavLab , but the mp3 encoder in it isn't good.

after ripping your tapes -
To make mp3's from wav files,
Use Lame Drop Converter ,
or also for FLAC/mp3/wma/etc files, use dBpoweramp Music Converter (by Illustrate)

They should all be easy to find for free.

I actually have my cassette player and a home cd burner I use but I haven't used it in years.

I have a ton of them... a lot more than I'd like, but labels rarely send out actual demo CD's these days and only offer downloads for review....

So I'll burn 'em to a CD'r so I can listen in my car....

The reality is that CDs are dying and sales are disappearing.... The new economy is the live performance with a band not hyping CD sales as much... It's almost a matter of 'giving' music away for free to generate sales and live peformance draw...

That is reality .... I don't like it but the facts are those.... Downloads and streaming is here and it's not going away.... It will only gather more steam.... until these little things are truly gone...

don't shoot the messenger....
