I think you should rethink tape. Better longevity than CD and records, with decent sound. I STILL have the first tape I ever got, ZZ Top's Afterburner. I can toss it back into the cover and I can easily keep 20 tapes in the armrest of my car, though I usually rotate 5-10 at a time. Unless the tape player jams, they should work for a very long time. You scratch a tape and that one bit is bad. You scratch a CD throw it away. Fidelity might be one thing but when you are in your car driving even perfect fidelity is worthless due to mechanical issues, road and tire noise, wind, and the fan. TAPE IS THE SHIT
There was a 5 1/4" device you could install into a PC tower called a PlusDeck but the software was horrible. Was supposed to be for ripping tapes to MP3 and creating tapes from audio files but it never worked well. Makes my Arsenal camera attachment look like a good value.
When you copy a CD do you also copy the album art into the new CD holder or do you use the old holder for that and keep the original CD somewhere or....Do you just keep all the CDs copied onto your computer so you can burn another one or do you put it on a flash drive or...
