Does anyone buy cassette tapes for music anymore?

I haven't used cassettes in years, just wondering if anyone still does.

3. Nope

[ThoughtCriminal]

4. Yes

Sometimes I see a tape I like for 50-cents at the used book/music store. I'll probably keep buying them occasionally until the tape-deck starts eating them.

Yeah. Nobody sells cassette tape . . . however, I love vinyl records . . . all those *pops* and stuff. Geez. You can't beat it. Heh. And, oh, yeah, btw, it's got to be on a belt-driven turntable too. Naysayers need not respond.

8. With you there

CD stuff is two-dimensionsal crap.
Vinyl and tapes have DEPTH man.

CD's are good coasters though.

13. I never had a cd get "eaten" by the player...unlike cassette tapes.

I couldn't wait to move to cd.

15. I do, for my parents...

they only recently got a CD player for the house and have cassette players in their vehicles. Working on that...;-)

16. Haven't bought one in years, but the ones I do have

I still listen to once in a while. They make me nostalgic.

17. These days it's easier to buy a CD player than a cassette player...

Occassionally I'll remember some old cassette, and I won't be able to find it on CD, so I'll dig it out of my garage and make a CD and an MP3 out of it.

Mostly I used cassettes in my cars. Remember how awful it was whenever a car cassette player "ate" a tape? You'd push the eject putton, and there'd be that awful feeling as a string of tape came trailing out of the cassette like spaghetti...
