Subject: RE: Looking for Folkbox
I did a search at the folkways site and didn't find anything like Folk Box or variants. I think Joe is right about them not putting it out.

Joe. Have you ever thought of keeping your tape as a "master" and making a copy for everyday playing? When that one wears out, make another copy, etc. That way the original will last a long time (perhaps even longer than a CD which is made of more perishable material, I think.)

I don't know anything about copyright laws, so note that the above is a question, not a suggestion ;-).

Also, it looks like pretty soon the price of a CD recorder to be driven by a home computer will get reasonable. They were over two-thousand here in Australia two years ago and now they are under one-thousand.
