Snoo thought he heard a subliminal message on the latest cassette he was playing. He eagerly unscrewed the screws on each corner of the tape. It didn't take long to put the reels on backwards. When he finished it wasn't much of a surprise it was telling him to share pictures of his cassette tapes, cassette players, analog equipment on Reddit. It also wanted him to promote tape labels, make tape compilations, and share the love of the format. The tape self destructs. Snoo eats the magnetic tape!
Welcome to /r/cassetteculture.
The sky isn't theirs to see. Ir's what they have always believe. The only sound they heard. Never meant much to her.
She never listened to their words. They all hated her and was ignored. When she tried talking to them. They turned their backs and walked away.
All day she had time to think, And was beginning to believe everything was a lie. Being alone was OK. As she listed to her Judas Priest cassette on her WALKMAN!

Does a split release cassette with two bands live sets sound appealing?
Asking for a friend

Hey all, I’m new to cassettes any recommendations for what kind of player I should get?
Wall mounted would be cool, but I’m also totally okay with a regular radio-like one as well! any advice would be great :)

Recording question
Not sure if it makes a difference, but I’m going to be recording to a tape for my friend to play in a cassette player that they have in their car.
I’m recording to a 90 minute cassette, and I’m going to be putting two albums on it. Each album is about 38 minutes long.
Should I record one album to one side, then let it run all the way and start recording side B from the beginning? Or is there a better way to do it?
Thanks a ton!

This cable going to my tape head is torn. Could I take some thin wire and solder it to where the flex cable goes?

Pushing 900 live tapes
Almost at 900 tapes total of live recordings. My goal is 1000 Grateful Dead and then whoever else I can acquire along the way. I have them all catalogued in a spreadsheet as well. Started collecting in 2020, in June of 2023 I had 100. So almost 800 gained in little over a year.

Translated Modern talking?
I got a job lot of tapes and this one caught me pff guard. It seems to be covers of European songs in Arabic but I'm not entirely sure (I'm basing this on a label on another tape I got). Has anyone ever heard this version before?

Is this normal?
My first time buying a cassette player played a tape for testing sounds great but once I wear the headphones I can hear the screeching noise does it some maintenance? Im not familiar with these things

Help! Buzzing sound in car cassette deck
I’ve got this buzzing coming from my tape deck of my 91 ford ranger. Just bought the truck, so not sure when it started. Only happens with tape deck, not radio.
I tried two versions of those cleaner tapes with demagnetizers, but no luck. Tapes are tested and work on other decks. The buzzing/tapping gets louder with the volume. See video.
Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?
