I learned something interesting this morning.
I know the last few years vinyl records have made a huge comeback. Well it seems those old cassette tapes of yours are worth money now. They have increased 98% in value in the last year alone.

@KiwiBird I gotta ask .... Are you researching as this chat progresses, or did you know all this about old records?

I still have vinyl in my life. it is how i grew up and tho i go all the mp3 acc stuff
none of it has that breadth.
cassettes? not so much, but real to reel? if it was recorded fast,, is as good an analogue as discs
and i still love [b]having[/b] it MYSELF rather than rely on streaming services

Good observation. I think it's because the analog cards reproduce the music across the full spectrum, while the digital ones only sample the sound at intervals. Meaning there are gaps in the music the digital card has to interpret and then substitute that for the gap, and so full fidelity is absent while present in analog.

Thqt surprises me. I am a huge fan of vinyl, i love the sound quality, that crackle just before the music starts gives me such a buzz... i love that my 16 yo daughter has her own vinyl collection.
Cassette tapes offer neither convenience of instantly listening to the song of your choice nor the sound quality and i still remember the agony of the tape getting caught and having to wind it up with a pencil.......but i do miss the feeling of getting (and making) a mix tape that someone has spent ages putting together for you.... nothing quite compares

@Stereoguy Fuck streaming. The dumbass public thinks that renting their content is better than owning it. It makes no sense to me. You pay and get nothing. GREAT concept. The powers that be CAN and WILL take it all away, and/or hold it captive behind inflated fees. Physical media is not convenient to own, but Sony or Netflix or NBC Universal can't just take their bat and ball and go home. But they will try to take your money and leave you with nothing. And it's working, so who am I to complain?
