We have something like that, only it's for a regular compact cassette. It's a high speed dupe, that can dupe at double or more speed. But you're probably better off getting a service to do it.


But nowadays, almost everyone has converted to CDs. You can get those little CDs that take up a lot less room, and cost very little to duplicate.

Confusions: it's = it is or it has (not 'belonging to it'); correct uses are ~it's here~ (= it is here); ~it's gone~ (= it has gone); but ~the dog wagged its tail~ (no apostrophe). ----------------(For the Apostrophe challenged)---------------- From a fully deputized officer of the Apostrophe Police!
