Mix tapes and DVDs

Well, I was going to write something on Rethink. Reuse. Recycle. prehaps for a later column. I'm in the middle of making a mix tape. A mix CD actually. gone are the days of using the double cassette deck to copy one cassette to the next and getting the tape at just the right spot to start recording. Of starting the tape on which you'll be recording so you don't start it on the blank tape that came before the recording tape.

Now I just make a playlist, shuffle around the songs. Delete a song, add some others. And the hit burn CD. I can add a few seconds between songs or have them fade into one another. I can adjust the audio level so they all play at the same volume. I can even make a CD of just MP3 fitting at least a hundred songs onto one CD and then play it on my MP3 compatible stereo in my car.

goodbye mixed tapes. Hello future.
