#cassette — Public Fediverse posts

I am going to be digitizing a few dozen cassette tapes with spoken word for a client. I still have 2 pieces of hardware that can play them, I just haven't put a tape in any of them for probably 15 years. Should I take any precautions before putting the invaluable tapes in and hitting play? I should probably do a test run with a tape I can afford to be destroyed in case something somewhere got stuck...

Getting emotional listening to this #cassette tape I picked up yesterday from a free box. I owned this album (on tape, I believe) when I was a kid and I listened to it a lot. It's almost 80 minutes of music and wouldn't even fit on a single CD. I love Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon's solo work never quite carried the emotional weight of this duo for me.

Coucou !

Here's a nice #cassette pickup, some #physics lectures from Richard #Feynman. These are good, but the first lecture was recorded too hot and is quite distorted. Very entertaining, of course, and full of good physics and general science knowledge.

Ufff, se vienen ahí cosicas...

Got a collection of 15 used #TDK #D90 and #D60 #cassette tapes. They have classical music recorded onto them. The noise levels are insane, so I think they were probably recorded on cheap gear. The D90s are marked as made in Japan, and this is repeated on the J-cards with a date of 1985. The D60s don't say where or when they were made and the J-cards only say "printed in USA", but they otherwise look very similar to the D90s.

I'm getting the hang of this goofy horizontal-loading deck.

A Tape Deck Gets a Service

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/08/15/a-tape-deck-gets-a-service/

I went to a thriftshop to pick up some cassette tapes, to be able to record on them. I picked up 2 tapes. Unfortunately for me, after listening and reading the liner notes, both of the tapes are pretty interesting, and I don't feel like I want to record over either of them. I ordered a batch of lightly used "blank" cassettes. From the pics, I think they just have been recorded with classical music and I have no qualms about recording over bootleg classical music tapes, lol.
