ugh i have so many...every tony touch and early clue and more...have to have to convert my cassettes soon, just went through them actually. i don't know the best way though, but when i do it i will share:
ha there's a pearl jam tape and a floppy disk in there oh shit!
Here's a mix to check out. I remember downloading it from the Vinyl Exchange board a few years back. I dont have any information on it unfortunately. Maybe someone can identify it as far as who made it.
im not sure if its serg from here but theres a west coast underground mid 90s mix called golden state warriors i think. i remember it having some good underground heep-haaaaaop.

overwhelming task
I've been going through and converting all the tapes of my college radio show and using this:
cassette deck headphone out ~to~ mixer in ~to~ laptop w sick soundcard
i'm currently converting an old ep of The Prophecy (ciut). it was a Formation takeover from the late 90s. Shy Fx and Navigator! DJ SS! Playing Visions-era John B white labels!
i would check out your old show if you share, rockwell!
That's the best part about tapes - they are all a little bit different. Unless you are copying straight store bought copies which serves no purpose.
Mixtapes, or tapes made off of the radio, or tv, or whatever. Sometimes listening to a mix or something off the radio is as interesting as the music itself.
Not to mention the numerous additional mixes and b-sides they use to throw on CASSINGLES.
Before I bought the player I linked to from amazon above, I didn't even have a cassette deck anymore. Tapes also degrade and break. I've already had to repair one of the recordings of my radio show.

Not exactly obscure--I think a lot of people on this board (including me) once owned all these 12"s--but might hit the spot.

Different Serg, but I thought the same thing too.
I might have a CD-R somewhere of it. If so, i'll upload it.
6 years later, anyone?
Must've been nice.
If that was the benchmark there would be no posts on here ever.
Alright, fuggit....
Posted another one of these in the 'music you're feeling' thread:

Doesn't play out the full songs though, in case that might be an annoyance to some...

Quality is questionable, but then again, so are the source material. At this point just having them digitized is more important to me.
I've looked at some of the conversion services out there, and they are $$$.

If you need digital versions you can "buy" them.
