Personally I find recording onto tape much easier then any digital format. I just bought a CD recorder for music and I'm already finding out that I must use more expensive Music CD-Rs to record with, and secondly I can't play or dupe those discs on my computer. It seems any digital format that isn't recorded onto the computer (compromise) has too many hassles with copy gaurd issues, making the format very unfriendly to use. At least with tape there's nothing about the format that forces you to not be able to make any further recordings. And tape stays in the analog domain which some may think of as a plus. Digital may make technically perfect copies, but they don't sound like real music to me in terms of how the feel when you listen to them.
