Funny Story:
I burned my brother a whole bunch of CD's, stuff I knew he would like. The next time he comes to visit me, he asks, "Could I turn these into cassette tapes for him?" He bought a car, new to him, that still had a cassette player but no CD player. The last time he was in, I told him that I could get him a device that would play an MP3 player through his radio. He declined, too technical.

[Denny]

[Lambchop]

I've no idea . . . rarely shop there at all! They might, though.

[jim stone]

How many do you need? I've got a few floating around. In fact, I've got one, still in it's shrinkwarp right in front of me. If it was ridiculous, I'd mail it to you.

But if I wanted to get more, I'd go to what gets called a dollar store up here. Jobbers in Hong Kong pack up container loads of assorted crap. Shipped here, they're sold in stores in which everything is a buck, otr two bucks. Usually with a bright yellow sign. You never know what you'll find, but I'd be startled if it took me more than two or three tries to find cassettes.

Somebody on the intertubes has got to be selling cassettes by mail, too.

Try Ebay:

Sorry; don't remember how to shorten that thing.

The local Target had some, as well as the Best Buy. The blank tapes were in the office supply section with the voice recorders. Radio Shack might be worth a visit or call as well.

I miss the cassette tapes. Just like the record player, where you could manually place the needle on the revolving record, you could see tape reels turning. You could also take the cassettes apart and repair broken or jammed tape. I recorded music from the radio in real time on cassettes, and I still use these tapes. My little mp3 player has hours of recorded music on the 4 GB flash memory, but it just doesn't have the simple mechanical elegance of media from an earlier era. I'm saving all of my cassettes, thinking that they are going to be worth a fortune someday.

I doubt I've anywhere near a hundred of 'em any more....

'course there's the bag in the closet that I haven't looked in since we moved here five years ago....
