Jessica, maybe this would help.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A site that has catalogs different blank cassette tapes sold over the years: Project C-90
113 different TDK tapes alone. I was surprised at how many I recognized - I was thinking, "I bought a case of those... ooh, I had a few of those."
But no Maxell - WTF? No wait, those are under Hitachi-Maxell. I bought cases and cases of Maxell over the years. The UD XL-II pictured here [link] brought back many memories. So did the XL II-S. Damn, I bought a lot of Maxell....
OK, I'm a geek. I used to be quite obsessive over my cassettes. I had a nice tape deck and was sure to set the levels, Dolby, bias, etc. correctly. I would record every LP and CD I bought, and usually just play the tapes. Plus while in college I'd borrow albums and record them, as there was so much cool music and not much money. I'd also make a compilation tape every few months.

anybody know of a free program that will let you do curved lines of text, like along a CD label. I had a program, but my computer crashed and I can't find the damn CD key.

Yep, lots of those, and when my budget was tight, I bought a lot of these [link] Memorex DBs) from Kmart.
One of the latter I had Sgt. Peppers on one side, and Abby Road on the other. On my drive back from California in 1991 I played that tape when I didn't have any other music in mind. For a while after I got home, I could play it in my head without the tape.
One of the Maxell tapes you show had In-a-gadda-da-vida on both sides.

I still have lots of stuff on tape, mostly Maxell UDXLs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, my dad gave me a bunch of audiobooks for the drive up to Canada. Trouble is, he gave them to me as separate mp3s for each chapter. Is there an easy way to tell iTunes "hey, all these mp3s are actually one big audiobook, so moosh them together, 'k?"
Bearing in mind that I have a ton of other shit to do before getting in the car tomorrow at 6am. Right now I have each book as its own playlist, so at least the tracks will all play in order.

If so I'd love to know. I ended up just making them into playlists too.
