Cassette Tape Culture and Cassette Tapes Today

[zHellas]

Who still uses them? I know that some people do, but who? And are there websites? Stores? Groups? Etc? Etc?

Where?

I'm quite curious... =P

I still have some old tapes around I listen to. A couple of readings by Spike Milligan, Ulysses, and a few PiL albums.

All in all though, they haven't aged as well as Vinyl.

That's because of how incredibly badass Vinyl is.
I have a couple cassette tapes, but they were just some readings.

I have a couple of cassettes lying around of songs that I recorded off of the radio, but I really only listen to them to take a stroll down memory lane. If you're looking for cassettes, I'd check out a used record store. They'll typically have some.

The only tapes I have is I'm the Man by Anthrax (which is an awesome tape, by the way) and this "Metal Meltdown" tape of cheesy 80's metal hits. The sound is so much better than a CD, yet no where I know still sells them. I got mine out of a bin at a music store.

I, sadly, am one of those who cannot tell the difference between mp3s, CDs, vinyls... It's all music to me, baby, and I'm sure (because I've been told so often) that I am missing something fundamental because of that. Don't own cassettes now because where would I play them? Same for vinyls. CDs are only used in my car. I know, I know... I'm sorry for plaguing you all with my heathen self...

Yeah, I really can't tell the difference either...

My gaming computer runs on cassettes. I specially ordered Bad Company 2: Cassette Edition. It cost $500 for shipping alone for all the cassettes, but it's worth it.
