But that's different.
Making mixtapes is a bitch? How so? I always find it really fun.

Mostly trying to find both decent quality tapes and a method of recording. It's a lot of work to put into it to get a quality-sounding mixtape.
I mean, the actual music selection is pretty much the same, but acquiring the materials is much tougher.

i don't really have any tapes (other than what my parents had and I've never looked at them)
i do have a few Nakamichi MR-2 tape decks in the basement though.

i still have my dads old vinyl collection too, if i sold it which i'd never do i could probably get about 10 grand so its a good investement to begin with, but its mostly for the spiritual feeling, i mean c'mon, when i hold the beatles "let it be" album on vinyl its like touching a piece of the 60's while having the cd format just makes it seem... different ina worse way

you bring up some good points, but i for one don't believe sound quality is trivial. Music is sound after all, i feel that their is a direct correlation (to a point) between my enjoyment and sound quality. Not to say that I'm going to like Nsync playing on a 500k dollar setup more than my computer speakers. but to say that i do enjoy Neon Bible on my stereo more than with some ipod ear buds.
and this does effect my choice of source format.

i didn't mean that sound quality was trivial but i think sound quality is something you can live with haha but yeah your right

...Where the heck do you rent from? DVDs and Sharp Objects, Inc.? Seriously, this has never happened to me. Ever.
--- End quote ---
You're serious? I rent from a large multitude of video stores in this town and it is much more often than not that the dvd is scratched up in some way and screws up during the movie. I've started to request a 5 minute cleaning of each movie at the stores that do it, even though it makes me sound like a bitch.
