      Apparently Currys have said that once existing stock is gone they won't be restocking

      I've got a little collection of tapes that'll I'll always keep, just to remind myself. Sure it's easy enough to just dump them on the computer (saw this the other day - http://www.firebox.com/product/1700?src_t=t20 ) but it's not just the same. I'm keeping a select number of LPs, too.

        They've been more or less dead for about 10-15 years now, I'm surprised theyve lasted so long.

              I've still got a stack of mini discs and a md player in the car. They were a nice step on from the cassette and the sound was at least equal if not better than an Mp3.

              I never got to muck around with DAT

                I am trying to find out who made a collection of cassettes that I had when I was little. It was a Yellow Bear that held about 10 cassettes of children's songs in it. I would love to find one for my daughter. If anyone has any idea I would love to hear them!

                      Had difficulty finding some cassettes tapes last year. I've done the odd quiz nite for family and friends and haven't quite worked out how to copy snippetts of music intros onto cds for the music quiz round?

                        Just rip tracks onto your pc, then open up an editing program such as Nero Wave Editor, trim tracks down to what you want, save, and then burn to CD! Simple as that!

                            Thats exactly the way i used to do it,when I ran a quiz..use a re-recordable Cd though,as you''ll only use a fraction of space

                              I remember the death of Vinyl....now its back!

                              Will tapes make a nostalgic comeback or will they just get twisted and tangled at the back of a draw?
