Tape Collection 2010
I know longer own any tapes. I hear that cassettes are making a come back. I used them for years. As the technology was kinda going away, I noticed that the quality of tape seemed to be declining. Around 2010 I finally got rid of m tape collection. But my CD collection continued to grow. Now days I mostly maintain a mp3 collection. But sometimes I still buy CDs.

@tryingtosurvive2024 wow! Yeah I've never seen a tape before, those things are old. Butttt! Records are making a huge comeback, so maybe one-day tapes will too ❤
@Tinywhisper11 They have I saw a yt video about it.
@tryingtosurvive2024 they have!?! Cool, keep all the ones you have left ❤
@Tinywhisper11 I probably threw them away in 2010. I don't think I got any tapes around here anymore. I'm sorry. 🙁
Woah it is so cool! (: it's beautiful that you still keep that.
@helianthus19 I don't have them anymore. I don't own a good tape deck anymore either.
Oh, sorry, it's alright too. It's amazing that you have a CD collection.
@helianthus19 I think it is a good thing to collect CDs. LP recorders and Tapes are ok, but one needs to remember that LPs and Tapes don't last as good as CDs do. Some people try to preserve LPs by taping them, and then just playing back the tape until it's done. I know I would try recording them to my computer and making my own CDs or wav, or mp3s etc out of them. I have some remastered CDs that the record company had to use vinyl recorders to reproduce them since the old master tapes had either gotten lost or were destroyed.
Some media is good for display, but not so good for day to day use. Some people love the audio feel of a LP recorder. Or maybe the little hiss that is in tape. Personally I think that is cool, but really I can live with or without it. That was never something that the original sound people were intending. They merely used the media that they had to work with. Nobody anticipates what people will fall in love with.
I once read a professional sound person say that He preferred analog because the sound we hear is analog, and He always swallowed hard when it was time for him to put on a hard drive. It is true that digital is not sound. I just look at this way, digital has proven to be the best way to preserve sound. He looked at like a projector. A series of pictures is not REAL movement. I'm not sure if He really understand digital or not. I'm not sure that I do either. Digital is a series of 1's and 0's in a code. 1 = on, and 0 = off. The digital data gets converted back to analog, so that you can hear it. I don't think it's like watching a projector at the theater.
