Boy, did I ever get good use out of cassettes. Going back, I bought the original Sony Walkman and still have. Then technology allowed me to record my own music onto Cassettes for car. I still have my original Harmon Kardon tape deck. Boy, that was a time and have family video doing taping of music via my equipment. I had the first Directv back then too, and recorded from their music channels onto Sony Beta machine. Then transferred the selected Beta music I liked, onto cassette.
