Comment from : @lawrencerasmus

I liked your video mate, I've still got cassettes from over 40 years ago I got back into cassettes about 2020, and a radio prog I'd reordered on a chrome tape in 1983 sounded near perfect! Only one of my tapes had a pad drop off and didn't sound too good, so I swapped the shell from a donor Not got as many tapes as you, but certainly got a couple of hundred in my collection

Man… this video did well! I love tapes! I guess it has to do with my age obviously Heck, I can remember listening to 8 tracs on my mothers home stereobr Underground labels are doing some cool stuff with tapes now They are printing the art on the tape, lol different colors for shells, and even crazy custom cases br Great video and I love the shirt!

Meh I don't think so , they're fragile A lot of the old tapes I have from the 70's and 80's won't play anymore because of changes in the binders of the tape, Even new tapes had issues

As long as music prices are continuing to skyrocket, every avenue to obtain what one seeks must be investigated Vinyl, CD, Tape or Streaming, they’re ALL flawed and not indestructible Accept it and plan according to your budget

No!! Cassettes completely suck ass! Just junk and a waste of money 🗑️👎
Comment from : @DavidMander-rs4uk

Better have air conditioning if collecting tapes It's not so much magnetism but the dust/humidity complex that causes them to stick The tape naturally is semi-moist and would likely attract fungus and humidity Certain surfaces can attract mold like paperback books foxing or browning but it doesn't affect the integrity of the pages You should have got your money back on that moldy oldybrbrMost cassettes were mass produced and most aren't rare Hit them on your leg before you play them as that will hopefully unstick thembrbrI appreciate cassettes about as much as I appreciate political oppression or waking up 50 pounds heavier

Easiest format to throw away I’m glad I got rid of mine years ago The only good cassette were the blank tapes I made with Maxell and TDK I love vinyl and cds Not cassettes brbr* cassettes lose the cotton pressure pads, they wear out, they tangle in the deck And drop outs Good riddance
Comment from : @tbonetnt33456

Dont forget about the 8 Track cassets With either one, you had to worry about the tape being eaten up by the machine
Comment from : @ariesmight6978

I put all music onto cassettes Cassettes sound the best and scientifically, the soundwave is very smooth, albums have a more jagged sound wave and CD's and radio BT is the very worst I can not count how many times I am playing something and someone comments "that sounds so good, how?"
Comment from : @chris-u5s4p

I hated cassettes After a while they would start dragging and the sound would warble Having to fast forward or rewind all the time was a PITA However, they are more durable than vinyl and cds
Comment from : @Captain_Zero_

And tapes work the other way round
Comment from : @Waffledogchat

I didn't get my first CD player until I was about 12 I couldn't wait to not have to buy tapes anymore The audio quality of CDs, the ability to skip tracks, and the larger artwork were all FAR superior attributes as far as I was concerned I still feel the same way Glad I've kept all my discs
Comment from : @foreignparticle1320

That's why you get a dubbing one, or a second dck, and copy the original so you can wear the crap out of the copy and not have to worry
Comment from : @ShiftaelV2

CD all the way

Yourube just recommended your video and I like your channel so far You make a lot of good points about cassettes I used them a ton in the 80’s with my Sony Walkman WM-2 along with vinyl records Now I mix it up with CDs, 8-tracks, reel-to-reel, vinyl and cassettes A lot of times I would buy the record, record it onto a blank cassette and listen to it on the go or swap albums with friends You can do the same thing these days as NOS blank tapes are cheap and plentiful although not being made anymore Buy a nice serviced deck or an “ebay special” a tech can look over and refurbish There’s a Youtube channel called “Cassette Comeback Archive” with videos looking at all the blank brands The general opinion is that in a good deck from the past, even a cheaper normal Type I bias tape can sound as good as the source you’re recording from even without Dolby NR and the prerecorded tapes they’re selling today for top dollar are using cheap tape , no Dolby (no longer available) and sound like garbage

Cassette tapes were the shit in the 90s, because the Sony Discman would skip CONSTANTLY!!!brSo, even though I had both, if I was on foot (I was a NYer, so always on foot), it was the walkman, hands down it also fit a lot better in your pocket
Comment from : @s0cializedpsych0path

For someone who listens to full albums I don't mind tapes, I couldn't afford a cd player as a kid let alone anything to play on it 😅 I never intended on collecting tapes but over the last year I've started to gather quite a few 🤘🏻
Comment from : @pieface8032

I hated cassettes growing up I now appreciate them I've been buying more tapes than records lately Its been hit or miss but still enjoy the format
Comment from : @lgf213

My wife says tapes are junk😂
Comment from : @MetalNeverDieswithMarkA

Tapes are essential and they are the cheapest format,i love tapes i got 1000 of them
Comment from : @INTOTHECOVEN69

Not sure why but I always have a hard time playing only your videos The intro music has audio but once you start talking it goes mute
