Meanwhile, in other news ...

The traditional cassette tape is to become a thing of the past, with
leading retailers confirming they are to be wiped from the shelves.

Bad news about the old cassette tapes... I have some really excelent bootleg recordings of U2, Dylan and Stones concerts on cassette. Is there any where you can get them converted to cd like you can with video tapes to dvd?

**BohsPartisan** · 10/05/2007, 11:06 AM

Do you have a stereo with a USB port?

**joeSoap** · 10/05/2007, 11:20 AM

yes........??

**paul_oshea** · 10/05/2007, 2:52 PM

it was a joke. there is no such thing.

however you can transfer to it via a line out ( speaker )from your cassette player and a line in ( microphone ) to your pc. Get good recording software though.

Anyone know if "Panini" football stickers and sticker albums still exist?

I spent most of my pocket money trying to acquire the full set of Mexico 86.

There were was also the horse trading of swapping the stickers you had doubles of.

Very many large banks and corporations are still keeping their archival computer records on tape. Big money being made at the moment by people switching this data over to HDD storage such as EMC's Symmetrix products.

you can buy a little machine that has a tape deck one side and a usb on the other... it converts cassttes into mp3 at near cd quality... then its the simple task of burning a cd from ur computer.. cant remember the name of them for the life of me but they defo exist used them last summer in the states.

Ya i know MBNAAAAA had used tapes and a few other retail banks, no IBs or the like though. Still though they werent standard features of a cassette player.

here is one example of doing it:

They still put Cassette players in Stereos you know, or at least Sony did in 2004 when I bought this one. (In fact it also has a minidisc player!)
