Nice collection

This sure brought back some nice memories of the times I was sitting in front of my stereo, waiting to ambush a certain song and record it I still have more than 10 tapes of dance music lying somewhere in my room from the years '98-2001. Btw, here are the two best tapes I have used over the years:

Ah...the good ol' cassette era. I remember good times from then. I had a lot of tapes from which I recorded songs from the radio (when there was good music being played on the radio ). I still have a good portion of them laying around somewhere.

Looking through that website really gives back memories since I even had some of the tapes they have there The best tapes imo were the TDK ones.

Cool, you've got the better grade Chrome/Metal ones, at least there's less hissing than with the cheap plastic tape ones they used to make.

True, that's what I liked about them, my Sony Walkman ( :hdbash: ) had a switch for the Type 1 tapes and Type 2. Even when playing Type 1 tapes I set it to 2 (for chrome tapes). The only thing I didn't like about tapes was the quality, that degraded once you listened to it a lot

I've been using casette tapes until this summer, I used them at work because those walkmans are almost indestructable, and I can crank up the volume way up so I can still hear the music in a factory However, today tapes are a lot more expensive than CDr's. And having an MP3 player seems to be the best solution for listening. But I did love those days of recording. I always tried to get perfect mixes by good timing. Back in those days I was still into commercial dance music, now there's nothing left of interest for me to record from the radio I've still got the Grandmix 2000 by Ben Liebrand on tape, and Sensation 2000. Those cost me a few tapes, but they were well worth it

Well, the audio doesn't skip if the cassette is scratched I think that's the only thing that's better when you compare a CD to a cassette.

Or he has yet to burn his first RW disc

 

[Coolsvilleman]

Wow that looks like every type of english-cassette ever!

 

[ArchIBaLD]

you recorded music from the radio!? pirates!!

i have a few cassettes of my own but my father has a ton of them somewhere..

 

[cloudvii]

I wonder how much time did it take from the guy to scan all these ^^"

 

[Kirby]

you recorded music from the radio!? pirates!!

hey...I use to before I had a computer The good 'ol days of Fastball and Offspring....

but I use to love cassettes....pull them apart for a semi-strong string when a emergency comes ^^

 

[Nevermore]

oh my god :O

good times, good times

 

[Cid Highwind]

I still have quite a few of those TDK's lying around here as well Nevermore, unfortunately their quality wasn't as good as the ones I posted Yet for a normal type casette they weren't that bad.

 

[cloudsBro]

i guess the cassette also is better than a CD as u can pinpoint where u want the tape to start after uve switched off ya tape recorder.

 

[Cid Highwind]

Yeah, that certainly is a good thing, but what about having to rewind to that one point where your fav song starts?

 

[cloudsBro]

yeh sweeet, can remember the days when i used to listen to peter andre 'mysterious girl' over and over again!! (he was rather appealin b4)....but my old stereo ate my tapes up a lot and spent ages detangling the mess.

 

[dpence]

I have cassettes, Rocords (33 and 45's) even have some old 8-Tracks... now those were the bomb!!!!

 

[Project Epsilon]
