It has been a while since we sent those tapes around and raced against each other in teams trying to fill some blank cassettes with songs recorded on boomboxes all over the world. :-)

However, I think it would be cool to do that again :thumbsup: .

I would volunteer to donate the tapes :yes: .
Now, let's get a list together and I will mail them off with the first songs recorded :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Let's do it again! :-D :-D

Great Idea Max! I'm definitely in!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Traveling Tape projects typically work like this....

Participant #1 starts the project and records "x" minutes of music onto a cassette (using boomboxes only) then sends the tape to paricipant #2, who then sends it to participant #3, and so on...

The final participant then mails the tape(s) back to the originator who supplied the tapes and started the project.

The amount of time for each particpant to record is usually determined by the # participants divided into the amount of recording time.

And while it's not "mandatory" participants typically log info about what tape deck (in this case, boombox) was used to make their recording, as well as the name/artist/album of the songs they added, and what the music source was (LP, CD, tuner/radio, tape, whatever...)

Traveling tape projects are not for the impatient, and participants should be the type of people who do what they say they're gonna do. If you don't have good follow-through skills, can't afford the postage, or know you're going to be traveling for an exteneded period of time, you probably shouldn't participate...

I originally presented the idea here after participating in several fun TT projects with tapeheads.net forum members. We ended up with so many participants that we ended up doing two sets of two tapes. So, one batch left my house heading east, the other one heading west. Knowing how long TT's can take, I turned it into a meaningless (but fun) race that saw both sets of tapes hitting multiple continents en route around the world, with a travel itinerary that would make most of us jealous.

All in all, I think it took three or four months before the tapes were all back to me. The whole thing played out in a thread over the span of tht time and the tapes and gifts that people added along the way are now TREASURED possessions of mine!

Thanks again to all who participated last time around, and an extra-special thanks to Max for kick starting round two!
