  1. Explain this to me, because I don’t understand.

    * Who is buying cassettes in 2023?

    * Why?

    * Where are you getting cassette tape players from in 2023?

  2. If you have a nakamichi tape deck I can guarantee that any music you listen to on a cassette tape will sound amazing through a decent high-fi and speakers. These tape deals have an incredible sound, amf music reproduction if you’re into your Hi-Fi

  3. If people arent even playing them then it’s no more than a fad, expect to see thousands dumped in landfill a couple of years from now

  4. this takes me back to 1980. i was working nights in a supermarket, in the run up to Xmas, that had a record dept. I used to bring in blank tapes and copy 2/3 albums a night. i made dozens of copies

  5. I don’t know why anyone would buy a cassette. They are inferior in every way compared to other mediums. The rewinding / fast forwarding alone is reason to not bother.

  6. Bizarrely, Rammstein are selling their new anniversary version of Sehnsucht as a tape. Saw this yesterday and thought to myself… Wtaf.
