Speaking of killing the industry, remember a little thing called Home Taping?

I think I bought the thing to try and save a local copy of Spotify playlists that could be played without opening spotify. I think I might've been drunk.
It's a bit junky - with the door missing its cover, but it plays, records and the VU needles bounce around in a convincing manner with a nice warm glow from the backlights. Still, it's got more features than any cassette player I've ever had - it can actually handle chrome tape and apply noise reduction. It's no so much relearning the skills of youth - as learning how to actually make a proper recording,
It sounds fine, considering.
Good luck finding any documentation for it, mind. No manuals or service guides - the internet has no idea what it is. And Nikko are better known for remote control cars, than quality audio gear.
And I've already managed to snap a tape by being ham-fisted with the door and snagging the tape.
But yeah. CD, Cassette, LP - it's a trilogy now.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
