    Re: Death of the cassette

    I used to make compilations of whatever i was into at the time (old and new) and gave them volume numbers. I never taped over them and have them in the loft. I bought a cd recorder (before I had a pc) and started to burn them on to cd. I finally stopped at volume 36 because I bought a sony hard drive recorder which holds around a 1000 albums and you can create playlists on that so yes for me the cassette is well and truely a thing of the past.

    Far handier for recording than your CDs or whatever modern alternatives there are now - we replaced our video with a DVD recorder lately & would much prefer the VHS.

    Yeah, I became a bit of an expert at mending tapes, so much so that my friends would come to me to fix them when theirs snapped. I still have loads of tapes and my car still has a cassette player in it, though for over a year now I've had the same tape playing over and over (Johnny Cash on one side and Roy Orbison on the other, two artists I never get tired of listening to).

    I still have lots of music cassettes, but they never get played

    Most are 'compilations' made by me , whilst sat in front of the tv taping Top of The Pops (discussed seveal times on this forum )

    Remember when they snapped? Who else tried mending them? Cut a very small piece of sellotape, same width as cassette tape....a temporary measure but usually worked (as long as you could keep the spools of tape from completely unravelling when you took the cassette apart )

    I have a few select ones that live in my car (a 15 year-old, mine from brand new, Toyota Corolla. I'm hoping for a few more years.)

    Unlike as suggested in the Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett novel "Good Omens", they have not all transformed into "Best of Queen" cassettes.
    (though I did have one of those.)

    From Enya to Orff, Thomas Tallis to Blue Oyster Cult.

    I still have a huge collection of cassettes, and a reasonable deck to play them on. They're a nice bit of nostalgia to have around the place. When I occasionally play one, I'm reminded of very happy times. No reason to dump them at the moment.

    I will continue to play cassettes in my car, afterall it's about 17 years old so I like to stick with consistency! Besides a radio-cassette is worth diddly-squit to Crack-Heads and Smack-Heads and other exotic types who inhabit our urban landscapes so it makes better sense.

    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?

    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

    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!
