LOL! I did the same thing with 8-tracks. Thinking back to those days is what
made me start recording XM.

Hehe, that's exactly what I do. I don't even bother to chop it up. I'll
just
grab the stream from DirecTV and record a huge mp3 to a cd-rw, and play it
in my truck. When I get to the ends, I do it again (on the same CD). I
only
have XM in my boat.

I did that on 8 tracks before some of these folks were born. Back in
the olden days they would run FM shows in the middle of the night
without many commercials. I could set up my recorder to make a tape
from 2 to 3:30 and have a good tape to play in the daytime when it was
all commercials all the time.

What I like about digital music is it is very easy to go in and chop
out any particular song you want. I have an old copy of Sound Forge
that will let you do tricks with sound that would dazzle a recording
studio engineer 20 years ago.
