- lots of variety on quality - about $0.27 -$0.48 each in quantity
- for 3-5 min tapes
-
- ANDOL, 4212 14th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11219 800-212-6578/718-435-7322

- I recommend calling to get recent catalogs from each of these places.
-
- Our groups also use one tape for one song. As Dan Pearl mentioned,
- there's a tradeoff between convenience and storage space. I like
- doing away with a catalog and can directly program from the tape labels.
-

- |> players, I'd like to hear from them.
-
- Me too! But then, we'll have to go back to using a catalog (small loss)
