I do have an mp3 player that i can run thru my car setup, but the tapes are just easier. Also, you can always pick up loads of glam and metal etc around the place. I scored all the motley crue albums on tape for like, ten bucks! sweeet... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-10290 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 04:55:00 +0000 GlamJam89 10290@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I recently went to a thrift shop and bought like a dozen tapess for about five dollars, and when I got home I realized that I can actually play them on my cd players because it has a tape deck in it. I had no freaking idea because I never use it, so I was really pleased. my dad has a bunch of old records, but we don't have a record player. I want to get on him about getting one. I had a friend come over a bit ago with an old ass fisher price record player that we listened to Alice Cooper's greatest hits on, lol. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-10247 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:21:48 +0000 motleyguy 10247@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Don't sweat it.</p> <p>Over the weekend and because I've moved into a smaller apartment, I got myself one of these micro systems. It's a sony and plays DVDs, fucking awesome it is.</p> <p>It's got a cassette player in it too. So I spent a whole day listening to demo's and live desk performances that I haven't heard for like 15 years.</p> <p>Sound quality compared to digital is absolute shit but the memories are priceless. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=':wink:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-7855 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:57:21 +0000 brandyblue 7855@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I buy tapes up at used records stores, thrift shops, yard sales, etc. I have used some up, for sure!

Nobody bothers my car because not many people want tapes and I get to listen to exactly the music I want to listen to.</p> <p>I still have all my vinyl, I just can't part with it, it's like each one is a work of art to me. That is something that CDs just don't have is the bitchen cover and inner sleeve art, just not the same character. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-7761 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 01:40:52 +0000 LEATHUR 7761@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I didn't even acquire a CD player until Y2K (2000).</p> <p> By then I had accumulated a fair amount of demo CDs...</p> <p> I really like the "flavor" of vinyl better.Tho I would tape most of mine to cassettes to reduce wear. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-7745 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:58:50 +0000 TrashiiGuns 7745@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I've just bought a load of vinyls and tapes. They're more fun than CDs! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-7744 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:45:31 +0000 AniseedRock22350 7744@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i listen to tapes and vinyls..but i don't have the others to listen to...i can think of worse dirty secrets..thanks for sharing your story with us..you sound like an interesting person that's for sure.</p> <p>as for unlaziness...i have no idea when mine's gonna shift either. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/confessions-of-a-newbie-please-dont-hit-me-part-deux#post-7743 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:31:39 +0000 brandyblue 7743@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Hey, ya'll, a little about me to help put this in context before you have a GOOD laugh at my expense <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>First, I have two Associates Degrees, one in CIS/IT and one in Graphic Design and Print Technology. Not that these are a great big fat deal, for sure, but it should give you an idea that I have at least a medium level of comfort with modern technology.</p> <p>I am the chick that my friends and family call when they have set their computer on fire and I go and put it out, or whatever needs to be done.</p> <p>So that being said, I have a dirty little secret...</p> <p>Even with the advent of CDs, MP3s and the like, I keep (get this) a tape deck in my car! I just love my tapes! Someday, I will convert them all to CD when I am suddenly hit with some measure of unlaziness, but until then...</p> <p>Anyone else still listening to tapes, vinyl, 8 tracks, Edison cylinders, etc.? </p>
