Ok point taken, transfers...but unless you have hours upon hours of old tapes (in which case you probably have a machine of your own), I gotta believe it'd be cheaper to get someone to transfer for you the one time rather than buy a machine for yourself.

In any case, whatever you're using, by all means use it if it works for you...it just seemed a little insane in most cases. But hey, if you have great songs and you wanna digitize them onto 5.25" floppies, hell yeah, whatever gets the job done, it's all about good tunes.
