The usual sir? <cue orchestra>

            @Flyerone: Memories. Used to record off the TV when a kid. We had a pet canary at the time who liked to chirp along loudly to the music just when you didn't want him to, bloody annoying. Ended up having to move him to a different room before the show came on each week to avoid him being all over the recordings.

    remember many years ago, went to a UK primary school for summer camp
    and played computer games from cassettes

    To play the game again, flip the cassette to another side and start again
    was kind of fun actually LOL

      Yeah that was the go. I also used the double tape deck to record Commodore 64 tape games to blank tapes aka pirate them. Only thing was i had to unplug the home stereo speakers to stop the data screeching sounds.

    Somehow you knew exactly what song would be playing on the other side of the tape deck (side B) when you were playing your tunes. And yes TDK quality was superior but expensive so cheaped out on Maxell's

  • edgysimmer on 19/07/2024 - 23:44

    Has anyone tried backing up their Commodore 64 games using these tapes?

    I usually stick to TDK.

    • BFOOT on 20/07/2024 - 09:55

      Comment earlier above says they work well.

    Man we get deals for vinyls and now deals for cassettes, no respect for CDs :(

    • mellow on 20/07/2024 - 01:03
      +2

      Yeah I know it seems like the industry is letting CDs die off a slow death. But it is nice seeing vinyl and tape having a weird second coming though - and who knows, maybe the millenials and zoomers enjoying vinyl and tape will give way to gen alpha enjoying a second renaissance of CDs and minidiscs? I don't see any new physical formats being created by industry, so it really only leaved resurrection of past formats.
      And if the industry doesn't want to sell CDs, well there are easy to access places that basically every pressing of every CD ever can be located for free digitally..

    • 5thQuarter on 20/07/2024 - 08:01

    • Sherro on 20/07/2024 - 21:34

      I bloody miss old audio books you could read along with. I remember those giant fat cases some books would come in with multiple tapes.

      I know Audible/Kindle etc exists but it's not even remotely the same for some reason.

    nowadays people only use spotify, hardly anyone stick has a cassette player. There is nothing special about it. Vinyl has a purpose though.

        Good on you for keeping the factory unit and not replacing it with aftermarket junk

        • LowRange on 22/07/2024 - 02:25

          Thanks mate, the inside is completely stock except for a sport steering wheel. The running gear is definitely not factory, but done in a way that it's like factory such as keeping the trimatic shifter inside the cabin but it's a TH400 underneath and that sort of thing.

        Thought "changing the cassette" would not be descriptive enough for the genY+ to understand, so explained in detail, no harm meant to any minority groups. The outcome was car accidents.

  • JerryB on 21/07/2024 - 00:25

    Nothing below TDK SA or BASF CE II will suffice.
