Before the rise of ipads, or cellphone or smart phones that can download music and stuff, There was a radio. Of course, with radio people use cassette tapes to record sounds or music.
We still have radio to this day but we don't use it anymore and it's recorder no longer works either.
But this morning I was searching for some stuff and found these, looked so brand new.
You still have one of these?

Hello @Icydoll I actually have a radio but it runs on 110 volts and doesn't use it often because it doesn't have batteries in ti.

Yes, I remember. I tried to buy cassettes to record a few years ago and it was hard to find a store that still sells cassette.

Hello @anikoonline I doubt you can find some affordable cassette tapes out there, maybe I should check ebay.

Before that thing arrived there was the tape recorder reel and the rca cartridge, actually the cassette was considered sophisticated because it's compact
, yeah I still have those.

Hello @marlina It was probably the right choice, it was getting phased out.

Hello @amadeo I got rid of mine too or it actually broke just before I got my own CD player and that was two decades ago. Then when I found out that I can record from my razor phone i stopped using my cd player.

Hello @thelme55 I just wonder how they maintain the use of these tapes with getting them rusted.

Now I miss my cassette and CD collection I left on the Philippines. I remember making a radio drama with my classmate using a cassette when I was a teen. It was my highschool project. I played the villain.

I had like 100 cassette tapes when I was in college because I like listening to music all the time.
Pop, alternative rock, rock, mellow, love songs too.
When I arrived from a Season climbed before, I was shocked because my room was ransacked by my 2nd Brother who that time was an addict and he sold all of my tapes for 50 pesos as well as my walkman and other things.

Hello @YrNemo how long you had those tapes, I guess they probably don't work now. we had tapes that look brand new but when it was played in the radio, didn't work.

Last year I had to explain to my teenage nephew what a cassette tape was. He looked at me and said: "Uncle, you need some fresh air. You should go and have a 'Walkman'...

Hello @Bullshark I wonder if your nephew ever use a walkman? I missed having those because it used to have an AM or FM radio.

@Letranknight2015 My nephew says cassette tapes and walkmans are outdated, he doesn't want to use them. All he needs is his Samsung Galaxy smartphone, on which he listens to his music and radio shows...
