some decks just dont play nice with Sony DDS tapes...
I knew I was playing w/ fire but didn't think I would get burned the first time...Is it best to always pull the tape immediately after your done? Would a warm deck (especially the walkman style) heat the casing/shell making it a pain? Would I create more issues for myself by leaving the tape in till I got home?

I always pull my tape out right after I'm done...don't rewind with anything but my home decks. That way if it does get caught, it chews it at the end instead of at the beginning (which can ruin your whole tape). I wouldn't wait until you get home; the longer you leave the tape in there, the more chance it has to get caught on something. If it does get caught, DON'T pull on it. Turn the deck upside down and jiggle it until you can get it out - I don't know what it gets caught on, but good old gravity will usually get it off with no problems.If your deck's warm, that's not a good thing...I can't remember mine ever being warm to the touch unless I was in a warm place.--Dave
