That’s true. I used to do that a lot, “back in the day”. I still have most of the tapes that I made. I haven’t listened to them in years though. I don’t know what their sound quality is like these days.
You’re right. Records are almost as popular as they used to be. A lot more expensive as well. They usually were more expensive than cassettes and less expensive than cds. Now most records are more expensive than cds used to be. Cassettes have also made a comeback in the last few years. I guess that cds will eventually come back as well.
