I miss the concept of renting VHS and DVD's. There used to be a Blockbuster near our neighborhood when I was a kid. We would occasionally rent VHS tapes until eventually the DVD player became more prioritized. My family rented DVD's from the library, Safeway, and Hollywood Video.

I'm actually just about to purchase a record player and casette/CD player that can also export the media into digital format...
Honestly, it's a gift for someone else, but I cannot wait to listen to the quirks of the older media formats.
I remember reading this quote, let's see if I can find it:
.... Well, I couldn't find it. But it was something along the lines of "The flaws of a technology become its greatest feature, retroactively."
I can't wait for the scratchy records and having to rewind the casettes.
The skippy CDs will still drive Me crazy, I'm sure, but in a warm way.
If I may ask, which model are you getting?
I've been looking into getting a relatively cheap tape player/recorder for the odd thing e.g. archiving, retro computers, etc.
