I bought a device that converts records and cassette tapes to CD around Thanksgiving and I have been spending some time converting songs and albums I have had sitting around for ages.
As I am doing this, I am also discovering that many of my tapes don't play very well anymore. There have been a number of items that wouldn't play at all and I figured if I wanted the song that bad, I'd have to find it on CD or ITunes or similar, however, at $1/song, that adds up...especially since I bought these tapes already, probably most at new release pricing! Anyway, I have spent some time on ITunes as well and find that quite a bit of stuff is still not available.
I got to thinking...who out there has been searching for a song or two or even an album for a while because they had a tape or LP that they no longer own or can find anymore and these songs are still very hard to find or unavailable in CD form?
Let's see some songs/bands listed. I or some other member here might be able to help. I "specialize" in music generally from the 70s-90s, mainly classic rock and 80s metal. Many of my CDs, records and tapes have long been out of print, although some are starting to show back up here and there. I have somewhere around 1500 albums/tapes/CDs.
