I read this already when the thread started. Regarding to cassette tapes of what kind ever, I only have good experiences with - professional video recorders - professional or at least home recording recorders, that use consumer analog cassette tapes With those drives a tape never was damaged. YMMV. I've got bad experiences with - consumer video recorders - consumer cassette tape recorders - consumer DAT recorders and I heard about the same issues when using professional DAT recorders YMMV. So I suspect, that those drives, without revolving heads could be safe, but also unsafe regarding to the costs of such a drive. Using several external HDDs at home perhaps is less expensive, but not less safe. I'm sceptic. Regards, Ralf -- Who is the target group? Obviously it isn't a minority. I neither know any migrant nor any German listening to this, but somebody does buy those recordings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido_%28rapper%29#Record_Certifications Wer ist die Zielgruppe? Offensichtlich handelt es sich nicht um eine Minderheit. Ich kenne weder irgendeinen Migranten noch irgendeinen Deutschen der das hört, aber irgendjemand kauft diese Aufnahmen. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido_%28Rapper%29#Auszeichnungen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
