Music On Cassette Tapes Was the Norm!
For the longest, time my favorite albums came on
cassette tape. I almost feel like one of these folks who wishes
that 8-track tapes were still around. Don’t get me wrong,
I don’t really miss the fact that they wore out very easily
and that they tape would break all of the time. I guess it’s
more of a memory than anything else. I prefer CDs now, but it
did take me a while to take the plunge when the CD first became
popular. After all, everything that I loved to listen to was
on tape, and I didn’t want to make a major investment to
change that.
I finally gave up on cassettes when an album that
I really wanted was only out on CD. This was not common then,
but this was an unsigned band, and they chose to go with CD only
to save money. I went to buy a CD player so that I could hear
the CD, and I found a player that had both. That meant I didn’t
have to give up any cassette tapes. I was happy, but that did
not last for long. It soon became apparent that the CD was superior
in many ways. My tapes soon wore out, and I ended up replacing
them with the CD version. By that time it was a matter of practicality
really.
The funny thing about all of this is that my husband was the
same way. We met about the time this was going on, and he had
a huge box full of music that was on cassette tape. He didn’t
want to part with his collection, and was just as resistant to
the CD as I was at first. We got over it though, and we soon
had a huge collection of our favorites on CD. This happened because
new stuff would come out on CD, or because it made more sense
to replace a broken cassette tape with a CD that would last much
longer.
Though there are still some tapes somewhere in my closet, I was
sure I had seen the last of them. Imagine my surprise when a gift
my daughter got for Christmas last year included a cassette tape.
This was a small radio with a microphone, and the cassette tape
had two songs on it for her to sing along. She was confused about
what it was, and she still don’t understand why it does not
work like a CD. It’s stuff like that which makes a person
feel old. On top of that, now that I have used CDs for over ten
years, I hear I need to go out and get an MP3 player. I guess it
will never end.
