Interesting, I hadn't thought about that. I'm not sure if the audio editors I
typically use (GoldWave and Audacity) allow that, but they probably do.

I ended up doing that, and I suppose the result came out okay. It sounds
somewhat different in that part, but less annoying than having one of the
channels go out temporarily.

It has been many years since I had a cassette walkman. I don't even have any
type of cassette player anymore.. I had recorded this cassette to my PC
several years ago when I borrowed someone else's cassette stereo.
