- Of course the tradeoff is tape usage and portability. Our group has
- an index for tapes with two dances per tape (one per side). Having numerically
- ordered tapes makes it easy to file and spot missing tapes.

- You'll use mostly music-grade C-8's with some C-10's and maybe a few
- C-12's. They are available for about 80 cents a piece (in quantity).
-
- We use cassette cases that stores 30 tapes in jewel boxes and 60 tapes
- without the jewel boxes. To get maximum storage density, we don't use
- the boxes; we haven't missed them.
-
- We got the cases at the local Musicland. They should be readily available.
