There was an analog beauty to the mixtape: you'd drive around in your Datsun and appreciate the fact that your friend dropped a Dylan track between Elvis Costello and Billy Idol.

Those days may be gone--e-mailing your friend an iTunes playlist isn't the same, and they don't even make Datsuns anymore--but at least you can easily convert your magnetic-head memories into MP3s and transfer them into that iPhone you paid too much for. The USB-enabled BTO plusdeckEX will be out next year, and with any luck you can time its release with your midlife crisis.
