    Steve,

    Got your Fast track tape, thanks. Can I say, maaaaate, where is the CD? I havent owned a tape player since I was 10. Ive EVEN asked around. I think CDs are cheap now so give your marketing a push if you could. Tape is the wrong image, Im sure whats on it will dispell this totally (respectfully yours)…if I ever get to listen to it. [;)]

    Im new so I can get away with this…

    lol – Fair point.

    The problem is, when we put something out on tapes, people ask for CD’s – when we put it out on CD’s, people ask for tapes.

    Then why choose tapes?

    1) They’re the lowest common denominator (ie – almost everyone still has a tape player – and if they don’t, it’s fairly cheap to pick up a walkman)
    2) They’re easier to produce.
    3) Unlike the Vinyl LP version of Fast Track, they don’t break in the post. [;)]

    As for whether listening to the tape will dispell this, you’ll need to listen to it for yourself.

    How about a widescreen DVD version? Now that would be cool… =)

    Hi Everyone

    I already have a tape player in my car. Guess I’m going to have to install a CD player to get the best of both worlds!!!

    Not sure about the widescreen DVD player in the front seat though!!!

    Take care
    Dave [:)]

    Put my vote with the CD’s. I had to hunt around in my son’s cupboard and found a Walkman tape player that he got when he was about ten. (he is now 20!) Most cars these days have CD players in them and I would pay a little more to have a CD in preference to a tape.[;)]

    Hi Jars 11

    I dont think it really matters what it is on just as long as you listen to it and fast you dont know what you are missing out on. There are ways and means of getting around everyday hurdles like this one. Dont stress yourself out on the everyday ones leave that to the BIG hurdles in life.

    Regards Rachel

    Don’t just sit there and say YES BUT. JUST DO IT!

    No, no! We want downloadable Ogg/MP3/AAC! [:P]

    (Preferably Ogg, since it’s patent-free, although MP3 players are currently more readily available.)

    We could listen to the thing mere minutes after we buy it….

    Ah, a subject close to my heart.

    I agree with Jars. CDs are the go. Tapes sound terrible. Hissy.
    I have a tape player but really it is just gathering dust on my rack.

    troyhorse.com.au are really good for duplication or replication runs from 1 to 1000 Cds.

    cheers-
    Mini
