Who else still uses cassettes? I know a good amount of you still do. I can't turn my back on them. So many tape players are nice and have nice features. All these are broken 
. Well the radio works on all of these and I am currently looking for a nice working one. I wish the first one worked so badly it is so dope and full of features. I planned on taking it everywhere recording shit. Oh well. Anybody interested in it or know how to fix it. It keeps saying the battery is dead even with fresh batteries, might be because of the light corrosion 
.Here are pictures of a few I got:
SO DOPE SO BROKEN
NICE AS WELL WITH A COUPLE NICE FEATURES

Car. Nobody will break into your car for a cassette player anymore. Or tapes, for that matter.
Forgot about the car. I meant who still uses tape players on the go?
That IS the go, fool! I got all sorts of tapes to listen to. How much more go can you get?
FUCK. Ok who uses tape players on the bus or train or on the bike or on the scooter or on the feets. There...
Sheeeet, you never seen those bus/trolley things with the built in tape decks and overhead P.A.? Many a bus driver have rocked some hip hop.
HAHAHA Never seen it but sounds dope. HAHAH Why carry one in that case.
mega-bass like WHOOOOAAAAAAAAA
Once in Sweden, i've seen a dude DJing (some boring trance music) with two tapedecks/walkmans. He even beatmatched. Used the tape hiss and clicking of the buttons too... Outside the old mine in a small town on far north. Midnight sun and all.. People were dancing. Funny experiment.
Fuck all that Ipod mp3 junk... There's nothing
like a good old mix tape.
I think ODub once posted up about a tape player thing that you could get to put into your computer tower.
is this the same dude that has that website and recently posted on here(I beleive.) He has his shit all rigged up like something crazy..pretty dope actually..now just get him rocking some cassingles instead of trance
I don't know really, it was a festival with tons of shit, i was passing through and didn't catch the guys name. There was a lot of sick stuff. I hardly remember any names. As in my life, generally;) Except for the Xploding Plastix that kicked ass up there. Another performer had records thrown around on the dirty concrete floor and vinyl killer vans...
Painful to look at.
...back to the cassetes, the only thing i miss about them or tapedecks is the cool noises they make when handled, ejected, taken out of their covers or put back, the way they rattle in your pocket or bag, that dry clinking sound of the hard plastic.
Anyone listened to 'Cassete Boy - The Parker Tapes'?
That's a nice one! I had one like that once... wait a minute, THAT IS MINE!!! STOP THIEF!!!!!!!
...nice wallpaper and table-cloth combination too.
Check here for more info.
Indeed. MIM, was it at the Norberg Festival you saw the guy?
yes! but i don't think this is him. that guy had some 'proper' tapedecks, not these wooden homemade ones.. check out the jog wheel, wow! that works?? beautiful!
K.
DAMN I need one of these. BAD. I have so many old school live hip hop joints, mixtapes, radio shows etc. from the 80's, this would be perfect for converting to digital. My damn computer doesn't have any room for me to install internally, though. Any idea if there's an external alternative out there anywhere? If not I may just have to get another computer, 'cause I really need one of these chumpies.
i'm going to buy that guy a cdj
I do, and I'm never giving up tapes.
thank you. you just made my day.
That shit is sick. I do my tape transfers a different way. I connect an audio cable to my tape deck and run that cable to the input of the computer on the back. Tapes come out nice. Although a few I had to do directly from a portable tape player which came out kinda sssssss... Yo Soufriere which model Nakamichi is it. I have been wanting one for a good while.
Word, I hear that - I rarely use cassettes anymore, but when I end up using a car that only has a tape deck or something, I get to hear a bunch of my old shit I haven't played in a minute. I have some dope old hip hop maxi-cassingles and raer roir punk joints, I still hold on to them, and it's definitely nice to dust 'em off sometimes!
