    Oh to prepare a mixtape on a dual cassette player… Now that I migrated as well to a digital mp3 library it would be dead easy to make playlists, but somehow the convenience kills the fun out of it.

      Timing to hit the pause button (to unpause) in order to start a recording JUST as the DJ stops talking and the song kicks in…

        I wish. The DJ would always talk over the start of the songs, and then start jabbering again before it ended.

          Now I’m wondering if part of why DJs talked over songs was specifically so we COULDN’T get clean recordings on cassette…

      Get free DJ software and do crossfades. You couldn’t do that with dual cassette players.
