cobbcountyjoe Definitly cassette tapes when I'm on the road. If I am home or at a computer I like to listen to music using Pandora.com Where do you buy your cassette tapes?

I think this is so embarassing to still own them, but we do! My kids make more fun out of them then they do the Vinyl records! Does anyone even know what these are anymore?

cobbcountyjoe I still have some. I like the ones with the 2 felt pads on copper, they last forever unlike the ones with a strip of foam in them. The foam turns to mush over time leading you to think the tape is ruined ... however I learned a trick from a site called...

cobbcountyjoe Try a music search service like The Music Locator http://www.themusiclocator.com I think they search for free and charge you like 5 bucks if you decide to go ahead with a purchase.

cobbcountyjoe I agree with Owlings technique for evaluating on ebay, but unless you need to sell immediatley you may want to think twice about selling them as a collection. A used record dealer will seldom go as high as 20 - 25% of a records value, because they have to...

cobbcountyjoe In the year 2525 (if man is still alive) and they dig up some vinyl records and some CDs, they will be able to clean the vinyl and figure out how to give them a spin. The CDs however, will have delaminated into oblivion.

cobbcountyjoe That's true in a sense. I have some CDs that work on this player but not that one and vice versa. For music that is not available on CD, vinyl can be the only choice. When I get stumped, I contact TheMusicLocator.com to find out-of-print selections

cobbcountyjoe Yes, I use them in my walkman and in my truck. I mostly buy them from on- line auctions which can be very economical but a bit of a gamble as you sometimes get some that don't work well. When I want to be sure of the quality of a used tape I buy from an...

cobbcountyjoe Patgalca, believe it or not cassettes are still out there and about 1/3 of the cost of CDs, but you need to know where to look. I get mine from e-bay and a place called The Music Locator. You can get good deals on e-bay, but sometimes they are in sad shape,...
