Audio cassettes-anyone?
Anyone still play audio cassettes on a regular basis?
Since we traded my E30 BMW a few years back I've listened to my own tapes very rarely...
Sad as I have a LOT of great music stashed away

I can't remember the last time I've played an audio casette. In fact, our current vehicles, both of which we've had for over 5 years now were never equipped with a casette player

I just purchased a tape to CD converter for under $80 US bucks.
TAPE2USB Cassette To PC
I have so many tapes that I want to save that I'm very glad I invested on this contraption. I just ordered it through Amazon and hopefully it will work as nice as it advertises.

My car has a cassette player, but I've no idea if it works, I've never used it. I listen to the radio

I once hired a car c.2003 which was the base model and in those days base models usually still had cassette decks. Never seen one since.

I haven't used cassettes in about a decade. I did consider transferring my old ones to a digital format but the original quality, even on pre-recorded ones, is so dire it's not worth the bother.
Scary to think that kids now will probably never experience cassettes, vinyl, and possibly even CDs.
