Just had a flashback to when you had to load tapes into computers to play games. The noise they made was awful. Then came floppy disks and cartridges

Yes... although I don't have any left now they all went to the charity shop last time I moved. I have all my old vinyls though. Must buy a record player and relive the wild, misspent days of my youth someday soon.

Default Ever owned a cassette?
Just saw some old cassette tapes online and all the memories came back …

When one failed and spewed all the damn tape out and you had to get a pencil or a certain shaped biro to wind it all back up again !!


I used to buy the top quality ones as I was ( still am) a perfectionist ..



How many of these did you use / have ??

I recall using BASF , TDK , Maxell .
The Fuji look really familiar as well

Yes I Have a rare recording's on Cassette
I transfer them to a CD Audio Disc.

Then on a Tascam
Upgrade the recording to 24bit.

Cassettes have a long history
kept in a case, they are still played.

I didn’t realise that these tapes were from my grandparents but reading this back makes me so happy

I also remember them playing Dusty Springfield but I don’t know if that was on a CD or not

Memories are so precious

It’s fascinating how songs and even tastes can trigger past memories/experiences

I felt that pang of sadness when I saw who posted it, too.

It blows my mind how cruel the world can be sometimes.

I always wonder how her daughter is doing
