I would set the microphone up against my AM radio and when a song came on that I wanted, I would record it. Inevitably, some of the DJ's talk came in at the beginning and end.I never thought of myself as a thief. Those were simpler times. I didn't have much money to buy records. This method wasn't all that convenient, but it worked at the time.
I have a lot of sympathy for the kids and virtually none for the record companies. Regardless of legality.
