[peel] Is it sad...?

[David Quantick]

This is great. I had an idea for a forget in a book who copies mp3s of Peel onto cassette to sell to fans but you're way ahead of me!

I know of people who will only watch the recent 'Top of the Pops' repeats on old CRT televisions because they just don't feel right on modern flat screen digitals, it's all personal taste. For me, there's enough tape hiss and AM crackle in the old shows to remind me of the source material and the advantages of being able to carry (and share) on an ipod  more shows than you could ever resonably fit onto tape, far outweigh the aesthetics of having them on cassette. But you must do what you feel is right of course...

I tend to associate Uncle John with that venerable format and so, I have to admit, feel slightly at odds with a hard disc full of digital file shows (grateful though I am, of course). My pseudo confession is that I am contemplating transferring the entire Peel archive back to cassette where I'm sure it will sound 'right', having passed through the analogue filter. I even have a Nakamichi Dragon and a heap of blank tapes at the ready. Reason for my post? Just wondered if anyone else had already undertaken this Herculean, although perfectly reasonable, task and if they might have regretted starting the might feat at all? Paul
