it's starting to look bad for my participation in this round....
my "stereo system" won't read cd's anymore and the tapedeck won't pause, so I switched to my boombox. after an entire tape side, I discovered that it was only tracking the left side.
my only real option now would be to record from ipod playlist. if I push stop on the tape deck that works, it makes a nasty click.
please advise.....
