Oh BTW, a VCR tape makes an excellent audio tool. Even on SLP the audio is GREAT. 6-8 hours of audio for pennies. Even on low grade media. They make great party tapes.
That's funny. I haven't done that in awhile now that I have 80Gb hard drives, CD and DVD recorders and such- but I used to use video tapes to record audio only for that reason.

I also used them to record non-music audio tapes like Zig Ziglar or Jim Rohn. I would buy these audio cassette series that had like 10 or 12 tapes in them. Rather than having to flip the tape or remove and replace the tape constantly I would copy the whole series to a video tape so I could play it straight through.
