Do you miss having a cassette player?

I do admit...there are some tunes that I have on cassette that I would like to hear in my car.

I have not missed a cassette player since 1989 or so...

I do miss my records though, just for the sound...

Yes I do, especially since the A4 I had previously still had one and I used it regularly to listen to old favorites.

I got what you meant about having one in the car, but really, I haven't missed it for a long long time!

You could always buy a cassette walkman and plug it into the aux.

I miss the cassette player just about as much as I miss the Crystal Clear Pepsi. It had it's run, but it's over.

Just so you know, your favorite cassette tapes are also available in CD's.

you can take the tapes, and record them into .wav on your computer, and then burn it onto a cd. i did that in the past with a couple of dj mix tapes.

What did you say? I can't hear you over the hisssssssss sound on the tape. Oh wait, push that dolby button.

If you really want to, you can transfer casette to digital format and make MP3.
