Nope,
I have a couple in the loft somewhere, and I even have a cassette drive in my computer which I used to use for digitizing purposes, but I've not used any of them for years.
We have two players. I last used one of them for transferring Under Milk Wood onto the Mac (sorry Guv but I didn't know at the time that is was illegal see, I thought I have already paid for it)
The sound is still pretty good but I guess it really is about convenience. Even LP is quicker to move from track to track. It might be said of course, that encouraging us to listen to the whole thing is a good idea.
I do, I use it for recording albums for the Volvo. Far nicer sounding than the CD player and doesn't skip on rough roads.
I enjoy making cassettes too, reminds me of making cassettes to listen to in my Walkman whilst doing my paper round.
I have a Technics RS-AZ7 which I picked up at a carboot for £1!

To make it even sweeter I preferred it to the Nak BX125E I had at the time so stuck that on eBay. Can't remember what it sold for but I did well out of the deal as I'd pulled the Nak out of a skip, happy days!
Nice! Looks like it has a real time counter?Quote:

I have a Nakamichi BX-125, which I had optimised for TDK metal tape. I also have a Nakamichi BX-2.
Used them to make tapes for the car and to tape music off the radio and TV; so about 200 cassettes in all! Use neither machine now and have disconnected them from my system. I'm thinking of selling them.
