Over the years I've had various cassette recorders too, and made many a tape from LPs. But this digital recording stuff is different, eg for some reason it gives me a tremendous sense of power or control that I've never experienced before with recorded music. Maybe it's just because I'm such an old coot that I'm kind of in awe of the technology. I've never tried computer CD burners, and can't imagine doing it-- not being much of a computer geek.
Jeff, glad to hear there is at least one other person that thinks about the use of burners as I do. I believe in paying artists for their work too, and have no interest in downloading music from the i-net. I have exchanged a few CDs with others, but as a result of it, when learning of a new artist that I like, I'll go out and buy one to many of their CDs.
I can appreciate Ohlala's observations too. Being retired, I have the time to fiddle around with recording and making front and back CD covers-- it's a fun part of this hobby. But, like Jeff, once I've paid $17. for a new release, I feel that I have the right to use it as I choose as long as it's for my own personal use. Cheers. Craig
