Doh!

Dropped a big clanger today.

Was shopping in a Supermarket and came across a CD of Marc Bolan and T Rex's greatest hits triple album for a fiver.....

I thought to myself "Great, I'll get this for my new car" as an alternative to listening to the radio.

Went to play it and realised it didn't have a CD player..


Any other similar tales you wish to share?

Bought a new UHD TV, new surround sound system, Top Gun 4K UHD Bluray.

Realised my bluray player can't play 4k disks.

Also, what's a CD?

It's a round thing digital optical disc but that's not important right now.

Allegedly there is a thing called "youtubesongdownloader" which rips the mp3 off youtube into an mp3 onto your pc. Allegedly you can find this on the ablesoft website. So a friends, sisters, cousins neighbour told me. Allegedly.

Allegedly it works amazingly well and does a 3-4min track in a matter of 7-8seconds, allegedly.

I was told, I mean I dont know how true it is, but the free version is just fine and will even rip an entire album if you just paste the youtube link in the gui and let it do its thing.

That's all very well, but how can I transfer it onto a compact cassette so I can play it in my car?

You need a full-size dictaphone machine…
