A bit of a rip off init? You could hook up a normal deck to your PC for the same effect. |

Nice idea, but it is impossible to buy tapes anywhere. Tapes weren't rubbish as the website states. Tapes had their own character and let me record music off the radio and were an integral part of my youth. some songs still sound better on tape than anything else, due to that lovely compression and stuff that goes on. Hard disk crashes aren't half as much fun as untangling tape. |

Without tapes, no dub. |

most importantly though, will it record all your mp3s to tape? esoteric transcodes in tha house |

yeh but it looks cool! |

looks like it, if you look at the rear panel. That was my point, hard to find tapes anywhere now. |

Tapes are my favourite medium, really. I still have very old tapes that fair well after years of playing, yes there genuinely is a quality to the sound unheard on vinyl of whatever, I like the size, the look, ... the sound. If I had an album out I would release it only on cassette (and then blame that for being the reason no one bought it) |

Some music sounds better on tape. It's like a visual artist uses different mediums for different effects...tape deffo has its uses. Plus I love the way the more you listened to an album on tape, the more it became a personal experience...the tape wear could even enhance the experience (at least for me). I've never felt the same way about music on digital formats. I've even heard stuff on MP3 I used to listened to on cassette and it doesn't sound as good (not the same anyway). I love tape (worms) |

Wu Tang Clan - Da Mystery Of Chessboxing sounds better on tape |

Lidl still sell 5 packs of C90s. I still use tapes for my car stereo. |

Do Lidl do .. (Do Lidl do, sounds like a 50s song) ahem, do Lidl do perchance empty DVD and CD cases? As, that's what I need, as all my CDs are now... loose in a bag which, I believe, is a far from ideal storage "solution". |
||||||||

I have seen empty DVD cases in there before, but I don't know if it's regular thing or if it was one of their temporary "specials". If I recall correctly, they weren't particularly cheap, either way. I don't have any shortage of empty cd cases (I have loads left over from my youth of buying PC magazines with cover CDs as well as from old releases of software in work), so have never looked for/noticed those. As to a temporary 'solution', at least until you're a bit more settled in one place, have you considered getting one of those massive "8 cds per double page" case logic cd wallets. You can get stupidly large ones that hold literally hundreds of CDs. |

Yerrr, I think I may go for the "case logic" solution.. solution, seeing as I seem to make a habit of upping and leaving. I did see some empty DVD cases in WHSmiths but they were about a quid each and.. then you could buy some quite decent films in there for 3 quid, so.. oh I don't know, ... well the Future's only just round the corner when Apple/Microsoft join up and create the Life OS and all your music and films will be stored in the walls of your house on tiny data panels that can be voice activated from the toilet and beamed onto any surface and all this talk of physical media will sound oh so archaic. |

Yes, the £1 empty cases is what puts me off: as you say, you can get ones with films in for not much more. Ideally you'd want them to do a pack of 30 of them for a tenner or something like that, but instead it's usually a pack of 5 for £5. |

I ripped a load of tapes a few months ago, the mp3s are good considering I had a lot of those tapes for 10 years + Sasha at Universe '92 is on my phone now |
||||||||

Why not just order them from Amazon? They do 100 single DVD cases for £8.46 or 100 double for £9.45 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Blimey, you're right as well. That's quite a step down from five for 3.99 in Smiths... you're one wise consumer, we must go shopping together some time. |

hahaha |

Bugger me that's a good price. If anything, 100 is overkill for most people's caseless DVDs, you could split that between 2-3 people. Still, for our man Dogvomit it's just the ticket. I shall have to check with her indoors about putting up a few more DVD shelves in light of this information. |

Been looking for a tape deck for a while. This is probably too clean sounding though. Still i might get one if i canb't find any others. |
