I too prefer using C-90's. A C-90 cassette will allow me to record both sides of an LP record onto one side of a tape. I make side A, side B theme recordings, ie: say Supertramp Crime of the Century on side A and Crisis what crisis? on side B. Yes often there may be a few minutes of blank tape left but meh so be it. When I do use C-60's I will record side one of an LP on the A side and side two on the B side again it results in left over blank tape. When I was really into tapes back in the 80's I would make an annual yearly compilation tape (sometimes two tape sets) of the music I would have tended to listen to a lot over the previous year. It was my way of cataloging my tastes as each year passed by. I left tape recording by the late 90's but I got back into tape recording within the last year and too will soon make another new 2008 favourite compilation tape.

Recording onto an MP3 is uninspiring and such, making CDR's is ok be it using my Macbook or my stand alone CDR but it's still not the same as a tape recording. Tapes are even more interactive... OBTW I only record vinyl onto cassette (though I may record some radio too). I do not record CD's onto tapes as I have no need too. My car has a cd player so I may make CDR compilation discs for such. I do record vinyl onto CD for car use but my pleasure of selecting a tape type and brand to record vinyl onto is a great way of making an quality analogue copy of my vinyl so I do not always have to fire up my turntable to hear what is a very good and very close analogue copy. Besides seeing the peak meter dancing especially in darkened room listening is kinda cool too.
