I have boxes of old audio B&O gear that haven't seen the light of day for sometime and decided to have a bit of a clearout. In there I found an old Walkman style cassette player and some brand new cassettes.
As I recently purchased a Beocenter 9500 for my dad I wanted to test everything before I sent it to him so I recorded a radio show that I'm very fond of - LBC's Mystery Hour and listened to it in bed before I went to sleep over the next few nights. Operating an audio cassette was a breath of fresh air! I could fast forward through the adverts, rewind if I wanted to hear something again, stop it, start it - all in pitch darkness and without having to look at a backlit display. The next evening I picked it up and pressed 'play' and it started exactly where I left it. No going through menu screens or the chance of mis-pressing the wrong command and having to start over. I don't know how long this fad is going to last but I'm just appreciating the simplicity of it all.
Now, amongst the other items I found was a Beocord 5500. Fired it up and everything works mechanically but I haven't got the BM5500. Hmm, I'll flea-bay it I thought, then had an idea. Maybe someway I could use this under my work desk to record the show as it's playing on the internet straight to a cassette on the BC5500 via the CPU speaker output socket! Is this a possibility or do I need to run it through a Beomaster? 
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
