Giveaway: USB Mixtape and Old-School MP3 Player Boombox

UPDATED: Music lovers, kick it old school (but not too old school) with this giveaway – a Cardboard Classic iPod Boom Box and Mixtape USB Drive from seltzerstudios.com, a $60 value.

You don’t have to be a Luddite or Lloyd Dobler fan to miss the time when playing music meant cassette tapes and a stockpile of D batteries. But if you don’t like the idea of giving up your iPod for a bunch of crappy-sounding analog audiotapes, enter to win:

Cardboard Boombox Speakers by Suck UK Crafty, DIY cardboard boombox complete with amplified speaker for your mp3 player. And yes, it really works. Some assembly required. 4AA batteries included.

USB Mixtape 128MB Memory Stick Store files or your own carefully crafted playlist on this PC/Mac-compatible USB stick that’s packaged to look like an old analog audio cassette tape — it even includes room to scrawl out your tracklist!

A picture may say a thousand words but there’s no better snapshot in time than the Mixtape. Even the techiest of geeks still miss those days of analog audiotapes – an art that served as both a reflection of your true feelings for someone you cared about, and you as a person during that brief moment in time. To enter, leave a comment with the three songs you’d put on a mixtape for the teenage you. Ah, memories. Ends Monday, September 13 at 11:59PM PST. Good luck!

UPDATE: Now you have a second chance to win this awesome ’80s-inspired prize pack! After receiving word that a few people weren’t able to leave comments, we are extending this giveaway until next Monday, September 27, 11:59PM EST. “Cool beans” right?
