My wife kept all her old cassettes from her youth. They're fun to look at, but the sound quality on cassettes doesn't improve with age. I think the oldest one I dug up from my own memory box was "Twisted Sister: Come Out and Play". I think I got that one when I was about fourteen. If you have a CD burner, a sound card with "Line In", and a cassette player with "Line Out", you can burn your own CD. It takes a little work though.

My mom had a major housecleaning several years ago and drug items out the closets that had been there for years. A lot of the stuff was mine and dated all the way back to my high school days. Among the items she found was an old case FULL of 8-tracks!!! There were 12 of them in the case. Most were AC/DC but I think I also had KISS - Double Platinum and REO Speedwagon - Hi Infidelity in there too.

We had a BIG yard sale and I sold the whole group for a price I'm ashamed to even admit to. I have ALWAYS wished I would have kept those because my wife actually has a WORKING 8-track player (not the one with the Dynamite Plunger handle though [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] ). Most 20-somethings today don't even know what an 8-track is and MY kids will certainly never see one. {sigh}

There's a reason for that, Cerek: They sucked.

Seriously, in the few years between the LP and the CD, there was no even halfway decent audio media to be found...
