I've also only recently got my first iPod and I'm loving the shuffle function! I didn't think I would but it's amazing what you forget you have and I like being surprised - though it still doesn't compare to the pleasure of a tape, or even CD, made by someone you care about! I know it's run by a shop but have you ever used 14tracks? It's part of Boomkat and they have a huge selection of mixes. The main problem is that you then want to go out and buy lots of new music. http://www.14tracks.com/about I recently got rid of my entire tape collection – tapes, CD’s and vinyl was just taking up far too much room so something had to give!

What to do? Does anyone offer a tape to digital service?

Very East Coast indie. The stories hook into that Hornby notion of faux romance, handmade heartbreak, cardboard covers, playlists scratched with a Sharpie and all that. On a wet day like today though - nostalgia can be an mp3. Robyn,

That's me, or people like me: we're just the worst, thinking the music we like is the best and never listening to other people's mixtapes, but always making them for others. Technology appears to have cured me of the habit. A little. Arrogance. “Yet all of the mixtapes I’ve received have been for educational purposes, probably from people who feel sorry for me.”
