Is the tape of high quality ? If so have they really thought thru why
they
want to compromise the quality, given that storage and media capability is
exploding.
Which is why it amuses me when the next greatest memory technology is
invented and the technology 'journalists' say that now we will be able to
store 10 billion songs on your ipod. Why don't they say that we can now
store only one billion songs, but they won't sound like crap ?!!
