I don't often post in other forums as I feel unwelcome. I posted thanks in that one - and it has to be moderated first. It will be really useful, I'll have to reorganise to get a tape deck anywhere near my pc but, I have loads of old tapes I'd like to keep.

If I could follow all those instructions properly the first thing I'd like to transfer is the live version of Under My Skin.

 

 

I doubt I'll be trying this week, Maybe next. It's jus me, mum and dad then.

I chucked a load of recorded blank tapes out when I did my spring clean this year. The others are buried somehwere.

 

Under My Skin is with my Darius CDs

And mine

I don't have a tape deck any more

I've got one as part of the stereo unit.

Believe it or not I've still got a Walkman in the house.

 

It's my son's. He did a massive clear out of his stuff when he was here earlier this year but the Walkman went back into the drawer.

I found mine - but it doesn't work anymore.

I used to have a voice activated Walkman style cassette recorder. I loved it because you could use normal cassettes. It was the best personal organiser I ever had, much better than any of those electronic ones you type into or my filofax. Sadly during a Spring clean I threw it out thinking it was my father's old one. It wasn't until I next came across the latter, that I realised my mistake.

I tried a tape in my CD player(it has a tape part) the other week - to try to record the demo songs off the PC..and it ate it! I think it is about time we did away with tapes..the amount of times that has happened! I havent dared play my tapes of Daiurs, under my skin..for a very long time in case they got chewed

Recordable video tapes could be every bit as bad but in all honesty I think I've lost more mp3s than tapes or videos and that's why I prefer any physical form to downloads. With a decent record player, I'd go back to 45s.

I'd settle for the new songs in any format. I just want to hear them

Last night in his programme, James May was pointing out a distinct disadvantage of CDs to 45s - you can't play them at the wrong speed for fun!

 

Which D song would you have been tempted to have fun with, slowed down or speeded up, if it had been out on vinyl?

I'd have to make sure I had plenty of copies incase they were damaged.

 

I'd perhaps speed up Betterman...but not to Pinky and Perky

 

..and definately fast speed I would die for you....the quicker the better

Or slow, you couldn't hear the words then, it'd just be a deep growl.

I kinda like Darius's deep growl but maybe not Paul Robeson deep.

We could have a new version of guess the song if we could do the extremes.

It's hard enough as it is but we could change it so instead of naming a song you'd have to give another lyrical phrase beginning with the last letter of the previous one

 

Feeling Blue

 

Eleven days

 

She's got a blind smile and a soft touch

 

How can I sleep tonight

 

 

Obviously we wouldn't need to embolden or underline. I just did that to suggest a chain.

 

I'd call the thread Nothing Unchained (How Do You Like It?)

That's a great idea - go for it BT along with the song dismissal one.
