wish i had invested on cd's....have around 600-1200 tapes rangin frm stuff i got for 40 bucks to 200 per cassete.even bought compilation(5-6 tapes in a pack for 2000!)! all of them are wasted now but still they were a lot worth those days....remember spnding all my pocket money in school days for gettin tapes from music world,landmark,etc!.......bought every tape that came out in the "rock" and "rap" genre!.....bought some good best of/greatest hits cd's though of scorpions,maiden,etc.....miss tape decks and feel bad about my huge tape selection getting wasted......piracy dsnt mean quality!...even good rips cant give you great quality! and with good components pirated media dsnt do justice!.............
