Lots of us remember taping the radio... I have old recordings where I pretended to be the DJ announcing the next song. Oh man was I bad!

Hey, back in the time I was recording ZX Spectrum games broadcasted once a week over one of the radio stations.
Commodore 64 owners were jealous of us, since this couldn't work with C64 due to different tape recording system.

Maybe they were jealous but you still owned a Speccy!

> praying for the announcer to be short and not to talk over the song
Hahaha, I did that in Ireland too. I'm pretty sure DJs deliberately talk over the song intros to make illegal recordings unviable.
Such a tape was fantastic until you had to use a pen to rewind it.
Spotify at that time was science-fiction movie worthy.
This said, I listened to 20 sounds at that time and I have probably about 50 now that turn around :) The discovery functionality is great though
