I spent 13.97 on Control by Janet Jackson at Spec's. Today, I saw it on a cassette for .95c at a thrift store. I would have saved over 12 dollars if I had seen it first. Do you think I should still get the cassette because I have a cassette player that works okay, but my CD player doesn't. But I use the one in my parents room. I took the CD and copied it onto a blank tape, but the blank tape version has sounds of me walking around the room and turning off the tape/putting it on before and after I recorded the CD. Do you think I should have paid the 95 cents and gotten a clean version of it? But, P.S. I turned it over so that the black part, the under part of the tape shows. So, if I decide to buy it tomorrow, it will be there hopefully. I regret not buying the Immaculate Collection from Madonna when I had the chance to. It was 50 cents at a thrift store. I decided to buy Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson and left the IC. When I went back to the store, it was gone and I never saw it again any thrift store. But, I did get to see the RHythm Nation at another thrift store for less than a dollar. But I don't mind. I like Rhythm Nation.

Ah damn, Janice, that sucks! But its good to have it on a CD anyways, and $13.97 wasnt that bad of a deal. Although, Im sure if you had gone to a Strawberries or something, you mightve found it in the Used CD's section? I remember last year I lost my Baby One More Time CD, so I went there and bought it again. It was only like, $5.

If I were you, Id spend the 95 cents and buy the tape too!

There's no way you should have paid that much for "Control". Alot of older studio cds are budget priced, $7.99, $8.99 for a new (never used) cd. Cassettes are okay if you want to go that way because you can always hook up a component tape deck to your computer, upload the tracks as mp3 files then burn yourself an audio cd, but that's obviously a longer process. And that's if you'd rather have it on cd than cassette in the first place.
