I wonder why cassette tapes are still being sold in record stores because no one - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 06-25-2004, 02:12 PM

buys them anymore-lol the last cassette tape i bought was in 1995. Everything is CD's now. I was surprised to still see cassette tapes in the store

spunkygirl · 06-25-2004, 03:28 PM

Actually some do still buy them, not everyone can afford CD's, or just don't want CD's. I buy them to listen too in my car.

I have a cassette tape I've had for 12 years, the oldest tape I've ever had

Brent88 · 06-25-2004, 04:12 PM

They still make those?

Mr. Television · 06-25-2004, 05:44 PM

I still buy blank cassette tapes and still record off my tape/cd/radio recorder. People still buy them. When I go to the store sometimes I have to wait for them to get some more in. I'm not sure about the regular tapes with music on them but I still see them in the stores.

Some people don't have CD players in their car. So if they want to listen to their CDs, they have to dub them to cassette or buy a cassette.

Like my mom

But she tapes all her CDs to a blank tape.

The only things is that I will buy a couple of these used cassettes at flea markets and yard sales. Many of them are unblanked or probably needs to record over. I record old time radio shows on my tape. I will still copy it soon.

I don't like these tapes that they are too new.

i work at a music store, suprisingly a lot of people still buy them due to the fact their car only has a casette player

Penny Lane · 06-26-2004, 07:41 PM

I still buy them. I haven't graduated to CD's yet!

It's like Vhs tapes. I have a whole library of Vhs tapes and cassette tapes . I will use them as long as I can. I have too much money invested in them to just throw them out!

I only buy CD's, but my dad buys Cassettes because he has an older truck that only has a tape player, not a c.d. player...

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 06-28-2004, 09:07 PM

Ill only by the cassettes when theyre really cheap and stuff. My car had a tape player, but I prefer CD's so I had it installed. Plus, with CD's you can just skip the song.. cassettes you have to FF and stuff and its a pain in the ass. Plus I can never figure out which way to FF and RW when you reverse the tape playing and stuff..

Janice Johnson · 06-28-2004, 09:26 PM

I have a tape player and a CD player, so I buy both. But trying to sell my cassettes is hell, because most people have CD players only.
