Hey Ogg,

  No they are gone. In some cases the bands broke up and I assume it came down to intellectual property disputes forcing a modified version be listed. In other cases they were never in the iTunes catalog so they were just scrubbed off my device. There's a fine print disclaimer when you sync that you might lose things and I did so I'm done. 
  I played with tape again here but I found that the gear at a price point I think is reasonable is just not up to the level of quality we enjoyed when it was the only way to go. So, now I'm using Audacity to make my own digital tapes and storing them as MP3 on my server. My truck has a nice built in MP3 player anyhow and I can make albums up on memory sticks that you just need to put in the slot in the dash. 
  I find I'll be listing to someone's mix on YouTube, while I work and at work when I'm in the office I can't have any of that for security reasons. We have no WiFi allowed on personal devices either. So, there I'm using an old smart phone that had a built in FM receiver and tuning into the college stations or I have to pack it in. On top of the work site restrictions I've got an hour drive one way across a radio poor landscape. So I think I'm finding modern applications of late 20c thinking to be my answer.
