the lost art of the mix tape yeah, i remember in high school when someone would make a mix tape for someone else, you felt like it was really special and alot of work went into it, cd's are just too easy. i remember recording hours of radio just to get that one song, then having to carefully edit around the radio station blurbs to extract it
though a few years ago, when napster was just getting off the ground and noone had even heard of an iPod, i told a friend i would make her a mix cd of whatever songs she wanted for her birthday. she gave me a list of about 20 pretty obscure songs from the 70's and 80's. it took me 2 weeks to track them all down, but i eventually gave her the cd. nowadays you could do the same thing in an afternoon
