Ah, this takes me back! When I was a wee lad getting into dubstep I never had all these 'forums' and 'streams', I had to tape Mary Anne and I never had enough tape for the whole show

I loved my old c90's of albums taped from friends.

Its funny how many recognisable designs of tapes there are. I like this site. I'd like a custom section of mixtapes with artwork on, that would be good.

i still got a tape deck in my car !

Aww.. always used to get these:

hand made tape covers out of flyers all filed in nike boxes and a rucksack with a walkman and about 50 tapes.good memories but THANK FUCK FOR IPODS!!!

my ex converted all of his to mp3. was a process but worth it when it came to what he had

Ahhh, sweet memories..... Got about 4 big bags of old tapes that I need to rip into mp3 files. DnB, house, ukg, happy hardcore, hiphop, hardcore......

I've still got my monday night nasty crew shows including the 2000 birthday bash set.

Aww the memorys.

blad, im still on those tapes, cause i still tape sets off the radio! its all about havin about 10 cassettes that you jus recycle... then youre prepared, whatever the technology of the situation - in your room so you can listen to mp3s? plug in your ipod. in the kitchen with only a budget tape deck? buss up them speakers still

i still use tapes regs. people at uni (audio specialised) used to cuss me for having a walkman instead of an ipod and i'd say 'so... u want me to get a tape deck to hook up to my computer, digitise all my tapes, cut the audio files into tracks, BUY an ipod for loads of money and put all the digitised tunes on the ipod? when i have a walkman... to play the tapes...?'

not gunna do that. NOR am i gunna re-buy all my tapes on cd. i doubt i could for most of em. loads of old dreamscape tape packs, soul, jazz, soca, reggae... stupid audio snobs.

was all about the minidisc for me. they were great. loads better than cd's cos you could easily put in marker points in mixes, rename, erase, whatever.

Yeah minidiscs were wicked! Better than tapes for putting albums or mixes onto, but not as good for recording radio shows cos you can only get 74 minutes on

last time we left our squat (the police was outside waiting) i forgot ALL my tapes in there thats two bags full more than 20 years of recorded material!

record in mono and get double the time!

tapes of these raves were good.

Ah, the mighty cassette!

A few months ago I came across a really old tape, like a bogey yellow colour, covered in dust and something really crusty anyway, stuck it in the tape deck, what I thought was gonna be an old Curtis Stigus tape of my mum's....turned out to be Me, aged 5 singing my heart out to "5 Little Speckle Frogs" - to my relief, nobody was about to hear it but was a funny surprise.

I love listening to all my old tapes, I was the original mix tape queen!
