Taking the best of tape and disk

Taking the best of tape and disk 03/28/2005 06:49 PM

How to rip from vinyl or tape


How to rip from vinyl or tape 09/15/2004 11:44 AM
So, you have five hundred tapes and albums of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the like, and want then on your computer? Well, you could spend hundreds of dollars replacing music you already paid for once with CDs. Or, instead of paying twenty bucks per album, you could spend twenty cents per album to convert your tapes and vinyl to CD and rip those. Read more for how. Also, the instructions below will allow you to defeat any copy protection. Period. Just substitute "cheap CD walkman" for "stereo." Caution- doing this in the United Statesor other parts of the world may be a felony. Those in less corrupt, more civilized parts of the world need not fear. Or alternately, you can make CDs of your own band.

Is The Mix Tape Dead Or Thriving?


Is The Mix Tape Dead Or Thriving? 01/22/2004 08:57 AM
A little point-counterpoint over at Salon looking into the issue of whether or not the ease of burning CDs or using MP3 players has killed the mix tape. The argument is that making a mix tape needs to be a careful process, done thoughtfully, listening to the entire thing as it goes, and making sure everything fits. Now, people just throw a random playlist together and burn it to a CD or throw it on an iPod for random listening. The counterpoint, however, points out how much nicer this makes life for most of us. Sure, not all mixes will be as carefully done, but in opening up possibilities and making it easier for more people to experiment with their creativity, a lot more is possible. As the writer points out, if you don't like the ease with which people now make mixes, you're free to go back to making the mixes by hand, painstakingly going through the process of rewinding tapes and changing levels.
