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...

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.

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.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u
Just focus on 27. Full focus. No new manufacturers will come before then, and no new ones will come if clear new regs aren't settled for 2027 by the end of the year (latest first few months on 2025)....
