    Yep...didn't know about the pen rewinding trick :laugh:
    I just figured the connection was you write on the label with the pen....

    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. :D

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that...once the little tabs broke off, you couldn't record over...hahaha. Amazing how far technology has come now!

    Yes, I remember them all!! Making "special" tapes for your friends/BFs. MY brother, sister and I had to share one stereo between us on a cart with an 8 track player.

    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!

    I remember lifting the tone arm up, to place the needle on the place on the 45 that I wanted to hear.

    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 ha

    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.
