I liked your video mate, I've still got cassettes from over 40 years ago. I got back into cassettes about 2020, and a radio prog I'd reordered on a chrome tape in 1983 sounded near perfect! Only one of my tapes had a pad drop off and didn't sound too good, so I swapped the shell from a donor. Not got as many tapes as you, but certainly got a couple of hundred in my collection.

hi you need to check the audio channels i am only getting 1 out of 2 of them the right side is dead

I have a Nakamichi RX-202. Some tapes sound incredible. Better than some LPs.

I'm sorry but both cassette tapes and vinyl are both hot garbage! Cassettes just like vinyl can Warp, are susceptible to fungus, and eventually wear out after you play them. Cassettes also get those awful dropouts vinyl get scratches and and skips! Both medium Suck A$$!!! These people and kids that are spending hundreds of dollars on Albums and Cassandra are out of their minds! And honestly I don't know where they get the notion that somehow Tapes and Records sound better than CDs!?! These people are absolutely deluding themselves! Now Cd's can break if you drop them and most definitely if you handle them incorrectly will also get scratched but they are much more durable than Vinyl and tapes. And if properly handled they'll last you a lifetime! So I don't understand or get this big hoopla about vinyl and cassettes. It's like this whole generation has been utterly and completely brainwashed! It makes no sense at all. And you don't even have to do that much research to realize this!!!! Hell it's common sense, but I guess there's not very much common sense that goes with the human race! Lol

Dude, why is your speaking microphone only coming out of my left speaker! You need to fix something!

I like'em too. 👍🏻

Man… this video did well! I love tapes! I guess it has to do with my age obviously. Heck, I can remember listening to 8 tracs on my mothers home stereo. Underground labels are doing some cool stuff with tapes now. They are printing the art on the tape, lol different colors for shells, and even crazy custom cases. Great video and I love the shirt!

Despite owning 4 (3 different models) from the *Panasonic ‘Platinum Series’* of boomboxes *(2 RX-DT680, 1 RX-CT980 & a RX-DT690)* & a *Yamaha YST-C11* ultracompact system boombox. *Nothing* & I seriously do mean *NOTHING* gives my two ears, my mind & soul more listening pleasure than plugging in my rather ‘nondescript’ & rather plain looking *Sharp WQ-T238(BK)* portable double cassette @ twincam boombox, loading two of my many *punk/d-best/crust/hardcore/noise/Death Metal* cassettes into there respective slots, pressing play & then lettin’ the motha’ ‘bleepin’ good times roll, baby. 😉 P.S. Now *Subscribed!!!* Cheers!!!

No.

Taaaaype, he say taaaaaypo!

Meh.... I don't think so , they're fragile. A lot of the old tapes I have from the 70's and 80's won't play anymore because of changes in the binders of the tape, Even new tapes had issues

As long as music prices are continuing to skyrocket, every avenue to obtain what one seeks must be investigated. Vinyl, CD, Tape or Streaming, they’re ALL flawed and not indestructible. Accept it and plan according to your budget.

No!! Cassettes completely suck ass! Just junk and a waste of money 🗑️👎

Better have air conditioning if collecting tapes. It's not so much magnetism but the dust/humidity complex that causes them to stick. The tape naturally is semi-moist and would likely attract fungus and humidity. Certain surfaces can attract mold like paperback books foxing or browning but it doesn't affect the integrity of the pages. You should have got your money back on that moldy oldy. Most cassettes were mass produced and most aren't rare. Hit them on your leg before you play them as that will hopefully unstick them. I appreciate cassettes about as much as I appreciate political oppression or waking up 50 pounds heavier.

Easiest format to throw away. I’m glad I got rid of mine years ago. The only good cassette were the blank tapes I made with Maxell and TDK. I love vinyl and cds. Not cassettes. * cassettes lose the cotton pressure pads, they wear out, they tangle in the deck. And drop outs .Good riddance.

Mold on tapes can be a big problem in humid climates. On records too. I keep a de-humidifier in the room with my tapes and albums which helps a lot. Here on the east coast, we get stretches of weather in the summer where the humidity never goes below 70% for weeks and weeks. I'd like to retire to Arizona LOL.

Dont forget about the 8 Track cassets. With either one, you had to worry about the tape being eaten up by the machine.

I put all music onto cassettes. Cassettes sound the best and scientifically, the soundwave is very smooth, albums have a more jagged sound wave and CD's and radio BT is the very worst. I can not count how many times I am playing something and someone comments "that sounds so good, how...?"

I hated cassettes. After a while they would start dragging and the sound would warble. Having to fast forward or rewind all the time was a PITA. However, they are more durable than vinyl and cds.

And tapes work the other way round

I didn't get my first CD player until I was about 12... I couldn't wait to not have to buy tapes anymore. The audio quality of CDs, the ability to skip tracks, and the larger artwork were all FAR superior attributes as far as I was concerned. I still feel the same way. Glad I've kept all my discs.

What made cassettes such a powerful platform back in the day was, we made our own mixes of our favorite bands, and then made copies of those tapes to hand out at school our on vacation. it made up and cummings bands spread like wild fire!.... WITHOUT the financial burden or interaction of labels. NO internet! just fans interacting with fans \m/

That's why you get a dubbing one, or a second dck, and copy the original so you can wear the crap out of the copy and not have to worry

CD all the way

No.

I get the nostalgic appeal, but what we didn't adopt in the states, that made it completely obsolete, was minidisc, as you could record directly to a crystal clear, small, and durable format. Japan liked it.

Yourube just recommended your video and I like your channel so far. You make a lot of good points about cassettes. I used them a ton in the 80’s with my Sony Walkman WM-2 along with vinyl records. Now I mix it up with CDs, 8-tracks, reel-to-reel, vinyl and cassettes. A lot of times I would buy the record, record it onto a blank cassette and listen to it on the go or swap albums with friends. You can do the same thing these days as NOS blank tapes are cheap and plentiful although not being made anymore. Buy a nice serviced deck or an “ebay special” a tech can look over and refurbish. There’s a UA-cam channel called “Cassette Comeback Archive” with videos looking at all the blank brands. The general opinion is that in a good deck from the past, even a cheaper normal Type I bias tape can sound as good as the source you’re recording from even without Dolby NR and the prerecorded tapes they’re selling today for top dollar are using cheap tape , no Dolby (no longer available) and sound like garbage.

Cassette tapes were the shit in the 90s, because the Sony Discman would skip CONSTANTLY!!! So, even though I had both, if I was on foot (I was a NYer, so always on foot), it was the walkman, hands down... it also fit a lot better in your pocket.

I had cassettes in the 80s and I buy and support them now simply because they are analog format. Lps and cassettes are the only 2 forms of analog. Therefore if I can't find something on vinyl or if the cost is too high, I opt for cassette. To me, analog is the most genuine authentic experience. That may not be the case for other people but for me, it's analog.

For someone who listens to full albums I don't mind tapes, I couldn't afford a cd player as a kid let alone anything to play on it 😅. I never intended on collecting tapes but over the last year I've started to gather quite a few. 🤘🏻

I hated cassettes growing up. I now appreciate them. I've been buying more tapes than records lately. Its been hit or miss but still enjoy the format.

My wife says tapes are junk😂

Tapes are essential and they are the cheapest format,i love tapes i got 1000 of them .

Great video. I think cassettes have become my favorite of the three formats I collect, although all three formats have their pros and cons. Tape are still, for the most part, the cheapest of the three formats, which means that with a lot of the music we listen to, it's still possible to get some fairly cheap new music on physical format. I'm normally not willing to pay more than $10-13 for a cassette tape, except if it's a rare old demo tape in which case I don't mind shelling out a bit more. In a lot of South-Eastern Asian countries, they have a lot of issues with mold on tapes, but - as you say - if you have the time and patience, itis possible to clean off the mold. I have a couple pf tapes where I need to replace the pressure pad. It's definitely a good idea to have some cheap 'spare-part tapes' lying around. I have already had to glue the pad back on a couple of tapes. And I've had to splice together some snapped tapes. But I find that repairing tapes and other 'tape care' activities is an enjoyable part of the hobby.

Not sure why but I always have a hard time playing only your videos. The intro music has audio but once you start talking it goes mute.

I'm not into the tape format but I can see the appeal.

Evildead - Toxic Grace is my favorite album released in 2024. Album came out in May and it's killer Thrash. Evildead are super consistent and kick ass. Toxic Grace is the band's 4th full length release and all of their albums are great and worth owning. Annihilation Of Civilization (1989), The Underworld (1991), United States Of Anarchy (2020) and Toxic Grace (2024) are all amazing Thrash albums. Evildead also put out an EP Rise Above (1989) and live album Live....From The Depths Of The Underworld (1992) that are great as well.🤘

1. Evildead - Annihilation Of Civilization 2. Megadeth - Rust In Peace 3. Slayer - Reign In Blood 4. Uncle Slam - Will Work For Food 5. S.O.D. - Speak English Or Die If I could sneak in a 6th album it'd be Exodus - Bonded By Blood

I don't think I've heard of that band but they sound interesting.

Super release and great story. I have gotta track down a copy of that. That intro was awesome man. You are good at that stuff brother. Great job

Mortician, Cannibal Corpse, Terrorizer, early Morbid Angel, Assuck, Insect Warfare, early Malevolent Creation. Sorry that's seven.

Gotta ❤ Death and Dying Fetus. Cheers Sean

You are killing it man! Great video and congratulations on the 200. I have a video uploading now for your zombie thread. Have a great weekend

Great update Sean! Awesome to see you picked up Death's Symbolic & Dying Fetus Reign Supreme. Thanks for the mention! Yeah, Six Feet Under's 13 is so overlooked. It's actually a really good album.

Killer stuff, especially Symbolic and Reign Supreme. Solstice is pretty badass too.

Dying fetus - reign supreme Cannibal corpses - vile Gatecreeper - dark superstition Dying fetus - destroy the opposition In flames - A sense of purpose

Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Aborted, Vomitory

That first Gorguts was a total game changer for sure
