Dunno if this particular one has, but in general I think old tapes are
migrating to CD-R. Consider: CD-writeable drives have become generally
affordable and CD-Rs are rather cheaper than cassettes while holding more
music and offering ostensibly better sound quality. I'm actually getting a
bunch of audio CD-R Fairport boots in the mail now, and when I turned my
friends at Cambridge onto Gov't Mule they started downloading MP3 files and
burning them onto CD-Rs to pass around among themselves. Gotta get some of
those now that I have a machine that will read them! :)

Cheers,
Carl
