Ok... needed to confirm something I've been facing those last months: I have more than 200 cassettes, most of them are from the 1980's and many tapes are now worn out or with horrible sound.

Couldn't buy tapes anymore. Sad...

I'm still buying tapes 😀 I just found a store with bootleg Greatful dead and Allam Brothers Band recorded live on Maxell IIs.

Yes, the sound fades. Yes, you have to replace the felt pads. But to me, that's the point. It is the best portable analog music format we have.

I really dislike listening to music on my phone -- I'm basically not even listening.
