Vintage cassette tapes and walkmans. Anyone other who feels nostalgic?  email this discussion to a friend?

digitalbeat (25)   ranked 29 out of 464 in all music 5 years ago

I have born in early seventies. There was a huge boom in home music recording
in 80´s when the c-cassettes came to market. Anyone with decent home hifi and record player was able to record their vinyl records to cassettes. That gave people to freedom to listen music in their walkman players nearly everywhere. I remember when I had my first portable cassette player because it consumed batteries so much. You could listen only few hours of music and it was quit big and not easy to carry like mp3 players and ipod players of today.
I´ve found also a vintage cassette tape website if you want to check it out.
You are able to actully send some photos of your old cassettes to the webmaster.

It is a nice site. Yes; I do recognize them. I still have some. Some in use with oldie music and other memories and some up on the attic.
They are still selling cassettes. Empty ones and cassettes for children.
Just my new car has a CD with MP3 built in these days. I miss the cassette player that came with my old car...

There´s no way to find any players for cars that play cassettes. I have also CD-player. Actually it´s a Sony cd jukebox for 10 cds and you can quick select the cd number from the player panel. However I had also cassette player in my first car in early 90´s.

Yes ! in the mid-seventies .. I had the largest collection of music cassettes in the neighborhood. i would spend whatever pocket money i get from my parents in securing gramophone records or tapes of albums especially top of the pops.

I used to always find a way to get the newest coolest walkman. I'm not really old enough to remember when vinyls were everything, I just remember recording all my CDs to tapes so I could listen on my walkman.

Today, I don't mind if putting in a cassette that I made a long time ago, or finding a cassette with songs I like on it.

I love the sound of a tape playing. CDs sound have way better quality, but a tape just sounds so cool.

I think CD's has got too clear and perfect sound when compared to analog cassettes. Also vinyls sound better than cds. I produce also music and in one song I actually tried to make it sound like it was recorded into a cassette. By making instruments "dirty" you get them to sound more natural too.
