POLL: When was the last time you used a cassette tape?

[Lithium381]

i played some pink floyd the other day on a cassette

 

[Armitage]

I have a small cassette player/radio that I use out in my shop, but my last stereo that had both CD & cassette for making tapes died about a year ago, so no new tapes. Eventually I'll get a cheap unit for out there to play MP3 disks, although I doubt it will have quite the tolerance for dust that the tape player does ... I've put some seriously crudded up tapes into that, and they still work fine.

Only for backups 🙂

2 years ago when i was in a hurry to get something recorded and a tape deck was all i had handy

 

[axelfox]

What's a cassette tape? 🙂

 

[3chordcharlie]

I tried using one the way I use all obsolete technology: as a hammer.

It didn't work too good, so I don't see much future for the cassette at all.

 

[kevman]

converted all my pop's old reel-to-reel tapes to cd, that stuff is way old school.

but it has a charm to it.

 

[cavemanmoron]

how about 8 track/??

I have an underdash FM 8 track I may put into my old car,LOL>

 

[BannedTroll]

Everyday to record phone conversations. That probably doesn't count though.

 

[Stunt]

You could probably ask the same thing for a floppy disk. 3.5"

 

[mpitts]

I only use cassettes on my 4-track. Other than that, it has probably been 10 years.

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

My setup. w00t.

5+ years ago

Last time was when I still had my 92 Chevy Prizm that had the factory tape deck. Even then, on long trips I pulled out the Discman and tape adapter. Got rid of it in 2000.

until about 11 months ago I had a cassete deck in the car = I used cassete tapes.

 

[JetBlack69]

I used tapes to record my band. That was ~1998.

 

[gistech1978]

more than 5 years ago

 

[FoBoT]

my 1990 Mazda has the original AM/FM Cassette deck in it from when we bought it. so i keep a few tapes in that car to listen to when i get tired of the radio

 

[imported_weadjust]

I use cassette tapes on a daily basis.

I take recorded statments for insurance claims. Very easy to use. Small tape player/recorder I can use in person or attach to the phone.

 

[Zenmervolt]

Technically it's a tape cassette. 😛

And I used one to listen to The Smithereens on the way home from work tonight in my car.

I have a nice old TEAC reel-to-reel setup for my home stereo too. That thing has great sound. So much better than a tape cassette.
