    You’d often see cassette players with two tape decks, so you could play one while recording with the other.

    You could also record from radio, record player, or whatever else your stereo had. Boom boxes with two tape decks were fairly common.

        And if you were lucky you’d have a higher end stereo system that could fade in the sounds too. Combine that with a pause, you could avoid that jarring noise of starting and stopping recording between songs. Just had to find the stations that didn’t have the DJs who talked halfway through the song intro.

        I’m a solid 20. Those of you who didn’t get very high scores, you don’t know what you missed.
