Remember when "ripping" meant placing the original cassette in Deck 1 of your "box," and placing a C-90 from your $1 3-pack into Deck 2, pushing "play" on Deck 1 and "record" on Deck 2? Maybe you taped "I Want Candy" from Bow-Wow-Wow.
Here's a tribute to those days. Bow Wow Wow's C-30, C-60, C-90, Go! is on The Best of Bow Wow Wow (1989 or 1996), and the Pretty Girls Make Graves cover is on Matador at 15.

In 1994 my original, first generation, Magnavox CD player bit the dust and I bought this la-de-da Philips unit. The Philips deck has a program that facilitates taping. You select the cassette length (30, 60, 90, 120) and the player organizes the CD tracks into a playlist that will optimize each side of the cassette so that everything fits and you don't have an odd break in the middle of a song.
YES! I HATED those breaks. You used to have to wind the tape at the beginning just right on the low-tech models, too, so the leader didn't cut off the beginning of your songs.
Bet that Phillips cost you a few bucks.
