There is something so comforting and nice about music being consumed in 'old fashioned' formats. I don't have a cassette player or CD player for that matter, but I do have a record deck in my dining room, and an ever growing vinyl collection that I use every evening while we eat dinner. I don't think I'd ever use a cassette player quite honestly but I love the idea of people listening to current music on one.

I have seen a few YouTube clips of songs with scratches for the old timers out there

I quite liked them tbh

…I’m coming to your place for dinner……the sign of a great dinner party as well is when a stylus sticks on a record being played ….but no one notices because the chat is so great and engrossing…

I have what was apparently once called a "music centre" - it plays records, CDs, and tapes. But I only own the first two.

I don’t ever recall having a snapped tape tbh

It would not have occurred to sellotape it though as it wouldn’t sound perfect .. perfection is everything of course

When it got twisted up I usually gave it up and let my cat play with it That was so fun. We didn't have things like cellotape sitting around... my family only knew masking tape and Scotch tape.

Haha, no. I don't even have a DVD Bluray player. Everything I watch is downloaded or streamed.
