×HY DID AUDIO CASSETTES SWEEP THE NATION IN THE PAST DECADE? ÔHEY AREN'T VERY DURABLE, YOU HAVE TO FAST-FORWARD OR REVERSE IF YOU WANT TO FIND A SONG, AND ÃÄS SOUND MUCH BETTER. É'LL TELL YOU WHY: ÙOU CAN RECORD YOUR OWN AND THEY'RE EASY TO USE IN THE CAR. ÉN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, YOU CAN TAPE EVERYTHING FROM THE ÂIG ÂAND RADIO HOUR TO YOUR COLLECTIBLE ÂEATLES 45S TO THE LATEST ÓKINNY ÐUPPY ÃÄ.

ÌIKEWISE, ANYONE WITH A COMPUTER AND A PRINTER CAN MAKE LABELS FOR THEM. ×ITH THIS PROGRAM, YOU JUST FOLLOW A FEW SIMPLE PROMPTS TO MAKE WELL-ORGANIZED LABELS FOR YOUR CASSETTES.

ÂEGIN BY RUNNING ÃASSETTE ÌABELER USING ÍENU 64. ÉF YOUR TAPE HAS THE SAME TITLE FOR BOTH SIDES, YOU CAN ENTER A 40-CHARACTER TITLE (E.G., ÔHE ÅAGLES ÇREATEST ÈITS - ÖOLUME ÏNE). ÉF, ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TITLES FOR THE TWO SIDES, EACH CAN ONLY BE 20 CHARACTERS. ÁT THE NEXT SCREEN, ENTER UP TO 15 SONGS PER SIDE, 18 CHARACTERS PER SONG (19 ON SIDE TWO). ÔHESE FUNCTION KEYS MAKE IT EASY:
Æ1--PRINT
Æ3--QUIT
Æ5--NEW LABEL
ÃÏÎÔÒÏÌ--TOGGLE COLUMN
ÈÏÍÅ--TOP OF THE SCREEN
ÃÌÒ--CLEAR SONGS, BUT KEEP CASSETTE TITLE(S)
ÒÅÔÕÒÎ--NEXT LINE OF THE SAME COLUMN

ÔHE CURSOR, DELETE AND GRAPHICS KEYS WORK AS THEY NORMALLY DO, BUT THE QUOTE KEY (") DOES NOT. ÄON'T WORRY IF YOU TYPE FASTER THAN THE PROGRAM--THE ÃOMMODORE'S KEYBOARD BUFFER WILL REMEMBER YOUR KEYSTROKES. ÉF YOU PRESS THE CONTROL KEY, HOWEVER, WHILE THE BUFFER STILL CONTAINS CHARACTERS, THE BORDER WILL FLASH UNTIL YOU RELEASE IT. ×HEN THIS HAPPENS, SIMPLY WAIT FOR A MOMENT AND PRESS CONTROL AGAIN.

ÐRESS Æ1 TO PRINT THE LABEL. ÄIVIDER LINES SEPARATE SIDE ONE FROM SIDE TWO, DASHED LINES SHOW WHERE TO CUT AND DOTTED LINES SHOW WHERE TO FOLD. ÔWO LABELS FIT ONTO ONE SHEET OF PAPER. ÆOR ADDED STABILITY, MOUNT YOUR LABEL TO FIRMER PAPER OR TO THE ORIGINAL CARDBOARD INSERT USING A GLUE STICK.
