I also have kept most of my cassettes which I procured during 80’s. Presently, as my Nak Deck is inoperative for want of belt change, these cassettes are just lying in the drawer. Once the Nak comes back to life or, I get a new deck, I’ll start enjoying them again.

There are many who still listen to cassettes. Maintaining a huge collection of cassettes is cheaper to start with. I have been told that you get that analogue feel when listening to cassettes. I had never heard cassettes before. But when I heard them for the first time, I liked them and on advice of some senior member of this forum, I have procured Nakamichi Deck and a lot of 3000 cassettes. Since I am new into vinyls also (Procuring the records first), due to steep cost of vinyl records, I can maintain small collection of vinyls. Combined stock of cassettes and vinyl records will enable me to have a good degree of source material as well as be light on budget.
Yes, I listen to them regularly. In fact I recently purchased a collection of around 200 mix tapes recorded in the 80s, however I don't know what kind of condition the tapes are in or if the person has recorded them properly. I'll find out once it arrives let's hope for the best. Also bought some blank metal cassettes to record on. I also still have all my old cds which I purchased in the 80s and 90's.
