The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I haven't owned a TAPE since I was like 14 years old.
Do you still listen to your audio cassette player?
- Thread starter jamrak
- Start date
My Camaro came stock with one and after I bought it it was all I had for a time!!!
To make things even better I only had 2 tapes left to my name, Sorpions - Love At First Sting and Ozzy - The Ozzman Cometh so needless to say I knew both those albums back to back after long road trips with no antenna.
But in reality the hot rod has a sweet CD player now because all my music is on that format and nothing new comes out on tape anyways.
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!

8-trax 4ever! just don't pass out while listening, please. the neighbors don't want to hear foghat 'til noon next day!
cassette tape deck? sadly, no room available. all sounds come from the computer these days. my collection of corroded tapes is in boxes in the attic, and i think there's a boom-box up there as well. behind all the bodies.
for my b-day a couple years ago, my sweetie got me this portable turntable with built-in speakers. looks like a suitcase? we bust it out when we're "in the mood"
Yes as I just can't get half the stuff I have on cassette on CD or mp3 or such like.
Hell I even get the old records out sometimes for the same reason. I just can't seem to obtain some of the rare and impossible to find music I've got on them.
The last one I bought though was over 10 years ago. The first one I bought was about 30 odd years ago.

My car has a cassette player that I listen to a lot. I also have a Walkman that I carry around occasionally and listen to tapes on.
I've started to listen to more internet radio, so I don't listen to the tapes as much as I used to, but I still enjoy them, and I don't see myself ever giving them up completely. As for the boom box, I wore mine out from carrying it around and listening to it so much.

Sure I do. Sheesh!! I wasn't going to repurchase my whole music library when CD's took over. I just picked up where I left off. I have more tunes than you could begin to imagine, plus the albums and 45's left by my mother and my Aunt to me. I love music and listen to it all. I have a actual record player (stereo) with built in cassette, several types of cassette players (boom boxes), Walkman and now three cd players not counting my computer.

Is somewhere outhere.
I still have a tape player in my car.So I'd say always.How old school am I :dunno: :1orglaugh
Listening to your tape deck doesn't make anyone Old School or nostalgic. But it may make you Canadian.
lol No chance of that. Foghat didn't evolve out of Savoy Brown until the modern era -----> about 1970-71
Well heck then you're just a youngin, Friday. I had one of those. Shoot, I still have my first Marconi wireless :tongue:
Those are handy. If you have two they can also function as space-saving end tables :thumbsup:

Most likely that would be on a section of the course known as the "green."
I still have quite a few cassettes left, stopped listening to them some years ago but the used truck I bought a few months ago has a cassette player so I started listening to some of my old tapes. I bought a cheap little CD converter and hook it up to my iRiver so I can listen to all my other tunes but still pop in a tape once in a while and roll with some of my old school stuff, brings back memories.
wow, I thought that I was the last one who still rewind tapes manually with pencil
very thrilling process!
I wanna try to imagine. Tell us how many albums approximately? And how do you organize your collection? I know how hard is it to prevent it all from total chaos, and to be able to find the particular album when you need it.
most of my music is in mp3, and I have digital database for every cd.
You know what the saddest part about the decline of cassette tapes is?
There'll come a day, when you will be driving along in your car and there won't be any streams of unspooled tape blowing in the wind, by the roadside.:1orglaugh
Is it just me, or does anyone else think to themselves 'I just gotta know what was on that unspooled tape' as you drive past it?

I whole heartedly empathize with your sentiments, tuns.
I've often thought, traveling across the Interstate System that perhaps, is that some obscure Led Zep track (and with Rod Stewart on vocals, no less) blowing aimlessly in the breeze that forever will be relegated to the landfill and never to be heard again?
Then again, I once had an uncle, a sheep farmer, by trade, whose flock inexplicably abandoned his auspicies for an unknown fate. Apparently, they made a concerted effort to never be heard again.
Voices in my head, anyone?
