my car is 20 years old & still has a working tape recorder. I don't actually own any tapes these days but good to know I have the option0

YIKES!!! I am old!! *sighs*0

OMG...anyone remember trying to write all the song track titles onto those little labels??? :bigsmile:
Haha, Yes!! And I remember putting tape over the "holes" at the top of the cassette so you could record over what was already on it.
HAHA!! YES!! Ahhhhh, the good old days. LOL!!0 -
I wish I could say I haven't a clue but alas...........this was me many times in my room listening to New Kids on the Block over and over and over and having to fix the tape when my cassette player wouldn't rewind anymore. :bigsmile:0
-
getting a mix tape from a guy was the BEST thing ever! I was so resistant to CD's when they came out in the early 90's....when I was 13!!! wow!0
-
I remember lifting the tone arm up, to place the needle on the place on the 45 that I wanted to hear.0
-
HAHAH I hella LOL'd just now0

OMG That is too funny! I remember my first tape was Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road that the babysitter taped for me, and there was a skip in GYBR and for years I sang it that way, until I eventually bought it on CD & realized THEY sang it wrong! ha ha ha0

I realllly feel old now....I remember going cruising on the boulevard uptown with my boyfriend...with an 8-track deck blasting away... and we thought we were soooo cool. :sad:0
-
LOL............this subject is hilarious
My 2002 Toyota still has a tape player - I tried playing a tape in it not long ago, and it sounded all warped and crazy !
I still have some cassette tapes that I like to play at times...........heck, even CD's are becoming a thing of the past with Ipods and MP3 players (neither of which I have
I AM SO OLD!!! lol.

One thing I loved about upgrading to CDs... no more "cassette puddles" in a hot car. LOL0

oh...and you'd try to record songs off the radio, so there was always the DJ talking over the beginning or end...hahaha....good times!
I just found some old tapes with the DJ on it. As soon as I saw the picture, I knew what they had in common0 -
A couple years ago, I took my dad to an Art Garfunkel concert. After the show, he said he wanted to buy a CD. I told him that I was surprised he didn't already have some of his albums. Dad said, "Oh, I've had his albums several times. I've had them on vinyl, 8 track, cassette.... I just need to get it in the digital format now."
I laughed so hard. My dad is older than dirt.
I use an MP3 player sometimes, and Pandora when my phone is fully charged. I only use CDs in my car, and my next car will probably have MP3 capabilities too.0 -
Yep, unfortunately I got it in just a couple seconds.
Anyone remember getting those club deals where you pay like .01 for half a dozen tapes, then just buy a few a regular price? That's used to be how we accumulated lots of music, before downloading. Man, I'm old.0 -
I used to multitrack recording of me playing guitar by recording onto one tape, sticking that tape in the second player, rewinding it and playing while recording and playing something on top of it onto a second tape. Oh no I've gone cross-eyed.
But it was a great way to come up with songs and tinker with harmonies and such without expensive equipment.
I also remember spending about 3 months making a bunch of perfectly constructed mixtapes for when I got my first car. It was a bit disappointing when I put a tape in my "new" car only to find the tape player broken. Oh the horror!
I used to hate the crinkling sound when you'd be playing a tape which meant the tape player was busy eating the tape and destroying your recording of Bomb The Bass.0 -
...and it used to be a BIG deal to have a dual cassette player/recorder cuz you could copy your own tapes, hahaha.0

You mean I wasn't the only cool one?! :sad:0 -
They eventually wear out?
They are old news too! Who uses tapes anymore......and pens...psh...i just need ma HTC touch phone...am i right?0 -
I have had some of the same music on vinyl (33rpm, 45 rpm) , Reel-to-Reel, 8-Track, Cassette, CD, MP3 and now on my iPod. I mean 'the Same Music". My tastes haven't changed. I just keep buying the same stuff on different formats.
Technology keeps getting better, but the music isn't. The great stuff is still Classic Rock and Blues.0 -
I agree, the dj talked too much! ha Also remember when the tape would get stuck in the player and would get wrinkled and not play anymore. I would cut that part out and tape the good pieces together then it played again.
I remember adding more tape from another cassette to make my cassette extra long too! ha
I still call cd's and dvd's tapes. When I say did you grab the tapes for the boat? I hear in the background, they're cd's. I know, whatever, you know what I mean. ha0
