there was a way of splicing the ribbon/tape back together again, but damned if I can recall how it was done either now.

Auld age clearly doesn't come alone!! LOL

I have all The Wonder Stuff err ... stuff ... on cassette. I robbed them from my aunt as a child and she hasn't gotten them back yet.

The Stuffies still kick ass. Just pretend Dizzy never happened.

[Josy]

Yeah I had boxes full of them mostly old dj mixed rave cassettes

[InOne]

Got all The Smiths albums on Cassettes Used to own some embarrassing ones too

[MTVN]

I have quite a lot, I always used to get ones with stories on to listen to in the evenings I only know the second Harry Potter from listening to it on cassette

[Photon]

Pssh I remember making my own mixtapes.

[Shaun]

I own my dad's copy of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" on cassette and that has huge sentimental value for me. But I've bought some before too; mostly silly pop singles though.

[Pyramid*]

I used to go bonker when you'd be taping the charts on a Sunday night - and just before your fav song finished: the bloody DJ would talk over it.

[arista]

Yes I have cassettes
as Rare Gigs or Rare Remixes are sometimes only on them.


I then transfer it to a 24bit CD.


Feel The Force

[kat26]

I'm glad to see there aren't a ton of "no" responses!

I remember the days when I would listen to hours of music on the radio to try to record one of my favorite songs, lol!

[MTVN]

Cassettes aren't actually that outdated though are they, only really think it's in the last decades they've died out

My 'relatively new' stereo has a tape deck. The reason I started the thread was cos I asked my 13 year old if she knew what one was and she didn't

Yeah I suppose even CD's are starting to die out now so it's not all that surprised that some people won't have known of a tape deck. Although that said, my Vauxhall Corse has a tape deck but not a CD player so I still have to use them now

I have a huge pile of CD's and loads in a rack. I was actually gonna pass them on to charity or something. But I listened to one last weekend from the mid 90's and can't bear to part with them now

Yeah we're the same at home, got stacks and stacks of CD's 90% of which haven't been played in years, guess we keep them there just in case

[Tom]

I had the Teletubbies song on tape for some reason even though I was about 8 when it came out

I remember I needed a tape to record something so I stole my mums Celine Dion tape and put sellotape over the square on the top. That didn't go down well

[Pyramid*]

Something's just came flooding back to me.

anyone remeber the little grated bit, (before mikes were brought out), that you'd sing into to record yourself !!

I remember my sister shouting at me to get out of her room because I was making too much noise when she was trying to record stuff ... all picked up on the mic of course

Used to do that with videos too, I partially recorded over my mum & dads wedding with SMTV Live (they took the plastic square out so noone could tape over it)
