Why on earth do you listen to cassettes ?

This was the question asked in one of my recent Cassette quality topics

Well for me this is the reason :)

I just watched my masterpiece and spotted the mistake :doh:

Its not a CD it's a Cassette player :doh:

Its my :wheniwasaboy: Age

Yes I am a pleb , if the chef :whippin: can use the word so can I :ner:

Also just like to mention Chelsea like to keep mum happy

The cassette player had a tape in it

The title " 80 songs my mother loves " :)

We still listen to tapes because they are there to be listened to.

I still listen to cassettes because:

- I have some cassette-only releases :smoking:
- I have compilations I made, or that where made for me, before the advent of CD :wheniwasaboy:
- my missus' Skoda only has a cassette player :steam:

I wish I had a decent cassette deck to transfer some old recordings...

Picked this up at the last boot sale ;)

I listen to cassette cos it's what you're supposed to listen to in the car - and you can get great music for £10 each.

It also sounds great - all this idea that people have about cassette sounding terrible is down to people using shit dual cassette machines and listening to 3 or 4th generation copies on mix tapes in their youth.

That, plus you can't beat the looks of something like this:
