What?

Are you fed up with  buying CDs, ripping them and never playing them again? Do you pine for a time when you listened to an album from start to finish without skipping tracks? Do you find yourself accumulating thousands of digital tracks on your ipod/computer and hardly listening to any of them?

Getting back to the tape thing, Johnny, do you remember the sound the tape used to make when you'd rewind/fast forward with the play button down too?!

That way, you'd hear when the song had ended (the gap beween songs)...

it's a different sound to the one the cd makes when fast forwarding....

Yes Mharcais, I remember that sound. It went something like this i believe - zhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeek.
whereas the cd made a noise as if it was playing the track for a second and then skipping forward about 5 seconds then playing for a second etc.
