Despite having a smartphone, a tablet, and many other ways to stream music. I think I want to get into cassettes. It really brings me back to my youth.
I’m just getting back into physical music formats. Got a Walkman recently. Going to also get a Walkman cd player as well. Something about actually physically having the music is just special 🔥🔥🔥
Im 10 year back in cassetts 😂 having purchased few beautifull decks from 1980th. Nice toys. PS New old stock cassettes of Chrome Type are still awailable in reasonable prices!
i wish sony used all our modern tech to build one final cassette walkman that is small as possible, hifi, long battery life and anything else they can think of, maybe it could even have 16 gigs of space for digital audio too
I was looking through my mums old stuff from the 80s and found some original Michael Jackson tapes and her Walkman! Never parting with it and it’s so precious
Im 13(about to be 14) and i collect a lot of old things. Gameboys, cassette tapes, microcassette tapes, cassette players,VCRs, the old. I'm now 16 and cringing at my past comment.
love this video! my school is cracking down on phones, so as both an effort to be as much of an asshole as possible, and not loose my shit bc i don't have music, i want to start listening to cassettes.
I have tapes and a couple of walkmans but they are all broken somehow but I’m gonna fix two of them at least so I’ll have them to use, I used to take a cheap Walkman to school when I didn’t have a phone but now I just have them to collect and reminisce
I’m ordering my first and very own cassette player tomorrow. I’m 14 and my parents don’t have one in the house because they’re so obsolete in 2020. I started collecting cassettes because I love the 80s and the 80s music and just ordered some Duran Duran cassettes a few days back. Thanks for the helpful video! Update: my cassette playing should finally be arriving! I really hope it does. I also ordered some vintage t-shirts because I live everyday as it it’s 1987 or something, I love vintage stuff!! It’s been almost a month and I’ve waited TOO long for my cassette player, haha.
Chuck Liddell awesome! I have a Walkman WM-F46 now, and I also just got a rotary dial telephone today. I love vintage stuff so much! Tomorrow is my first day of school so I’m gonna come in with my Walkman and listen to cassette tapes. It’s awesome!
Bought my first three cassettes today. Two Russian albums and DURAN DURAN tape. Completely fell in love with the format. Feels like a start of a new hobby.
i use to have a lot of cassette tapes back in the '90s, oh my goodness did I ever. How I wound up with a bunch of them, that's easy. I joined BMG music club, i got a lot of cassette tapes when I join back then. Seeing this video takes me back to a fun time and great memories and when music was great entertainment too. Great video
im 13, and i love the retro music style, maybe the last one in my school, i just got my first casette and have been wondering why nobody from my age respects old music, you a hero dude, thanks! (nice hair my guy ;)
It's funny for us who owned and lived in the era of cassette tapes and Walkmans to see someone giving a tutorial on how to use them or what they are! How times have changed.. 🤦♂️😂
I’m 15 and I’ve been collecting cassettes and Walkmans for a couple of years now and I learned all this on my own, I wish I had this when I first started but yeah I can agree some of the stuff here made me cringe even though most of the stuff here was pretty accurate and helpful to those who are starting off
@@MrWolfSnack you'd be surprised to know about the big amount of people that don't know how to use cassettes (let alone owning it) especially among the young people
I am 83 and have been into tapes for decades. I have over 200 album tapes commercially recorded and have another hundred I have made from blank tapes recorded from records and CDs. You are a young man and you might think you are limited to your Walkman (which is wonderful by the way, I have one myself) but you are not limited at all. You live in England. I live in the United States. Both countries have wonderful retro places where you can find home tape decks from the '70s,80, and 90s. My 3 head Sony gave up the ghost a month ago and I just purchased online a wonderful two head tape deck made by Luxman. In perfect condition like brand new. Tonight 9/4/2024 I recorded my first metal tape on it off a record called Provocative Percussion. The tape turned out to be a mirror copy of the LP. If you really get into tapes you will know what record levels to use for a given tape like your TDK Ferric tapes. Buy yourself a home deck in good shape from the years I mentioned and you will have a wonderful audio hobby for life. Cassettes are making a comeback and you can get in on the ground floor for very little money. Find an online tape forum based in the UK and have them help you with choosing your first home deck. Keep us informed via this comment section and future videos. I am going to subscribe just so I can keep up with your progress. Good luck. I forgot to warn you. Do not buy a new deck from anyone. Only one or two Chinese companies make the transports now and they are cheap and don't hold up. Also, the wonderful noise reduction found in old decks is no longer available. Dolby is not licensing their noise reduction for tape decks any longer and neither is DBX. That alone is a reason to buy a retro deck. Check out eBay which serves England. You will find scads of decks for sale there but talk with a local expert so they can help you sort out the good from the bad on eBay.
I remember having a cassette which sang out the 12 timestable in a variety of ways - jazz, rock pop. I friggin loved that thing, and it ended up helping me learn my timestables off by heart at a very early age. Hey adam, if you read this would you ever consider doing a video on the iPod/mp3 players of the early oughts? That particular brand of retro-tech is quite dear to my heart but it doesn't get nearly enough love.
I grew up with cassettes in the late 80's and used them until the early 2000's. I just got back into using them 5 years ago after watching Techmoan videos about them. My advice for you would to get a vintage cassette deck. I got a Nakamichi CR-1A from about 1988-90. I like to make mixtapes by hooking it up to my computer and recording from Spotify. Enjoy Dude.
Great vid mate, loved it! Just got into tapes myself recently, having become a bit put off by the price hike of vinyl. Would love to see some more tape vids on your channel - perhaps focusing on the pros & cons of eBay buying/cassette tape and deck maintenance/problems you can encounter with tape collecting. Just some ideas but loved your vid and I think it’s a good intro for anyone getting into tapes. LONG LIVE ANALOG! 📼
I, by no means, grew up with a cassette or anything vintage like that - but with a new school that I go to, people think phones are the devil or something. So I plan on using a cassette with earbuds or something to get my music in through the day:)
"Back in the day" a lot of people had really poor quality stereo systems/argos all-in-ones. So we kind of remember tapes sounding terrible because of this. Nowadays I have a 1976 cassette deck and a very good amp and every tape I own sounds fantastic.
So glad i came across this video! i've recently gotten into vinyl records and am hoping to get a cassette player soon enough. Thanks Adam for the very helpful video!
I watched your video even if I'm not a beginner and I really liked it. I'm glad to see that a good young man like you appreciates audio cassettes. You don't see that very often among today's young people. It's a common sense movie for beginners. A big like from me. I liked the hairstyle though. Greetings from Romania.
the only reason i'd want one of these is because an artist i like called The Flowers of St Francis releases his albums exclusively on cassette and on bandcamp. he didn't release them on bandcamp until 2020 even tho he has 3 albums, 1 from 2011, 2012, and 2015, which is just kind of intriguing to me.
Great vid! Definitely sparked some nostalgia! A hassle to open up the case insert? That's one of the first things I did after purchase. Many of them would have some cool extra info on the artist or band. Not to mention the producers, writers, cool photos, and sometimes lyrics to the songs. Before internet was around it was a way to "get to know" the artist or band on a more personal level.
This is a fascinating idea for a 'doc', albeit terrifying in how ancient it makes me feel. Most of the time tape was a pretty stable medium, but the ground-up tape was something that definitely happened every now and again, and that meant at best a section of distorted sound on the tape (and an increased likelihood of further grind-ups when playing that bit of the tape) and at very worst a ruined, even snapped, tape. I had to learn to splice tape a couple of times in my teenage years... They were also vulnerable to being left near electromagnetic fields, or to changes in temperature - especially if you left it in a car over time. However, cassettes were also the medium that gave birth to personal 'mix tapes', to the extent that by the late 1990s some blank cassettes were on the market with a running time of 74 minutes - the maximum length of a CD, ie they were specifically being sold for the pirating of CDs onto tape. From what I recall the early personal CD players were sensitive and inclined to skip like fits if you were running (not to mention expensive - whereas you could get an adequate tape player for about a tenner in the early 90s), so personal cassette players remained the favoured medium for listening while travelling. Certainly, for years I bought music on CD and listened to it all after transferring it to tape. Frankly, while I don't miss the need to fast-forward through songs on an album, the fact is that when you couldn't just skip to the next track, you were much, much more likely to listen to, and discover, a song that was unfamiliar and between you and the one you wanted to hear - definitely something lost with the tape medium. I suspect the reason Vinyl is such a strong medium these days is more of an aesthetic thing - vinyl has always been fetishized as a precious object, where CDs and Cassettes were always felt to be more disposable. All of which said, I've kept a single unopened TDK C90, just because of the sound it makes when I shake it - it's the sound of a time long gone when I always had a cassette in one jacket pocket and some spare AA cells in the other...
I'm 16 and I brought a sanyo M-1119 and when I was like 6 I listened to nursery rhymes in my car using the cassette player also my bday was recently and my friend got me a billy joel tabe
i'm looking into cassette tapes because a lot of music i like is on tapes and my new car (which is also my first car!) has a cassette player and i think it would nice to have a couple albums in a physical copy
Hello there. It's a good video, and thank you for the instruction. I used to have cassettes when I was a teenager, and I got rid of them all. But now, I started collecting them again.
This is great! I have just purchased an old 80s portable cassette player similar to the one you have now and this video really helps. I am very excited to listen to music on a 4 decade old device! Also, you sound like DANTDM and thats amazing
Not only does the clear tape tell you that it's fully rewound, but it also tells the machine that it's fully rewound. It's clear so that light can pass through it, which tells it to stop the tape, and not break it. It's the same with VHS tapes.
I’m 16, almost 17 hears old. And i have alot of Michael Jackson and Queen Vinyl. But i remember when i was youger that i had this cassette tape and i know i loved playing them but i cant remeber what was on them. And i dont have them annymore.
"Deluded, only for collectors and a few hardcore users." Not at all. I have been looking for cassette lots on eBay of just average lots of cassettes to blind buy and listen to, and millenials have been paying $45-$50 for maybe 30 tape lots of just common multi-million selling albums that you can get in Goodwill for 15 cents. There is an up trend in cassette collecting due to UA-cam influencers and Gen Z or whatever the hell letter it's at now of people from 2005+ that never known what a cassette is and just buying them because a guy on UA-cam tells them to.
I loved this video! You really convinced me to start my own collection. Question: what do you think is a reasonable price for walkmans? I want to buy a Sony wm-fx244, but it’s 65 dollars. Is the price worth it?
Just got a boots walkman as my first one and managed to get my favourite album on it (blue oyster cult - fire of unknown origin). Just wondering if the boots walkmans are any good
Scrambled 59 I actually discovered cassetes through vaporwace and the city pop revival. And man they are so cool! There’s a sort of warmth and charm that you don’t get from normal streaming
Adam your kallax shelf is upside down, the one in the bottom at least. The continuous piece of wood should be the vinyl support if bot the shelf can bend and even break.
Idk why but I prefer cassette cases to cd or vinyl I like how small they are and they look really cool so far I have Vince Gill When Love Finds You,Garth Brooks In Pieces,and Garth Brooks Ropin’ The Wind I plan on getting The Chase and No Fences
Question 🙋♂️ why does cd 💿 show the runtime but vinyl or cassette tape don’t show the runtime but all three format like cd 💿 vinyl and cassette tape all have a runtime?
I have 2 The Jacksons tapes and I got a little cassette player that I can clip to my pants and it doesn’t work and I think it’s because I don’t know how to play it
Despite having a smartphone, a tablet, and many other ways to stream music. I think I want to get into cassettes. It really brings me back to my youth.

i wish sony used all our modern tech to build one final cassette walkman that is small as possible, hifi, long battery life and anything else they can think of, maybe it could even have 16 gigs of space for digital audio too

You can even make your own paper cover inside the plastic cover to customize your own tape, with your own playlist for special someone.

Not at all. I have been looking for cassette lots on eBay of just average lots of cassettes to blind buy and listen to, and millenials have been paying $45-$50 for maybe 30 tape lots of just common multi-million selling albums that you can get in Goodwill for 15 cents. There is an up trend in cassette collecting due to UA-cam influencers and Gen Z or whatever the hell letter it's at now of people from 2005+ that never known what a cassette is and just buying them because a guy on UA-cam tells them to.

My mom has a casset player in her 2004 camry and we have old cassets but they don't seem to work how do I use them lol
Thanks bart
I loved this video! You really convinced me to start my own collection. Question: what do you think is a reasonable price for walkmans? I want to buy a Sony wm-fx244, but it’s 65 dollars. Is the price worth it?
But how do you know when you put the tape in what side of the tape is going to play first
The playing side is the one facing outwards
Just got a boots walkman as my first one and managed to get my favourite album on it (blue oyster cult - fire of unknown origin). Just wondering if the boots walkmans are any good
Where are you when you were recording the video? New home? Different part of the white wall house? Back in the 2017-18 flat?
Bit windy outside?
You're awesome bro, I like classic style
I used to have an original Walkman and a radio Walkman but they used to eat batteries very quickly.
this video was very useful thank you
the intro got me already
Amazing hair and outfit man
I recently got the WM-4 sony walkman
The viewers of a younger age probably know of cassettes because of the guardians of the galaxy films
Scrambled 59 and Hannah Baker
Unless they are poor
Scrambled 59 I actually discovered cassetes through vaporwace and the city pop revival. And man they are so cool! There’s a sort of warmth and charm that you don’t get from normal streaming
Ok b o o m e r
What’s the problem with that? The tracks in guardians of the galaxy are classics, you can’t deny.
9:51 before the sliders
Adam your kallax shelf is upside down, the one in the bottom at least. The continuous piece of wood should be the vinyl support if bot the shelf can bend and even break.
Idk why but I prefer cassette cases to cd or vinyl I like how small they are and they look really cool so far I have Vince Gill When Love Finds You,Garth Brooks In Pieces,and Garth Brooks Ropin’ The Wind I plan on getting The Chase and No Fences
Question 🙋♂️ why does cd 💿 show the runtime but vinyl or cassette tape don’t show the runtime but all three format like cd 💿 vinyl and cassette tape all have a runtime?
So what other cassettes do u own
Does anyone else think Tape and all analog sounds better then Digital aswell as CDs even tho CDs are technically analog I’ve never got that feel
Hey Adam. What would you recommend as I cheep one. But a good sounding one that works well.
I'm just a simple person.
I saw Michael Jackson.
I clicked.
I have 2 The Jacksons tapes and I got a little cassette player that I can clip to my pants and it doesn’t work and I think it’s because I don’t know how to play it
You said you are one of the last generations to grow up with cassettes, I was born in 2006 and I've grown up with them and have a collection of them
I started collecting last year
I bought some cassettes and I have a Walkman for cassettes
It is very hard to find WM-F1 in the market. Nice condition!
I get nostalgic for cassette
I had one of those same brand back in the day
I had also gotten back into cassette tapes too, back in 2014....
Aren’t you from nsync? Haha, this video was helpful thank you :)
What is a drive belt?
Bros majestic
What happens if i play a virgin cassette?? What will i listen?? Will the cassette player keep looking for data??
You were ahead of your time. Cassette sales are rising especially now that artists like Taylor Swift are releasing music on this format.
At time I had cassette Tape and only thing I didn't like about them you can't skip to next song.
Hi how would you improve the sound of the blank tapes that you can record on let me know thanks so much.
Im 15, turning 16. Have iPhone, bluetooth headphones and millions of song choices.
Yet, WALKMANs are more interesting
Cassette Tapes are the most interesting format for sure!
@@chalkpitcassetteclub minidisc is cooler and easier to use in the modern day, but cassettes have a special place in my heart.
